Soundsmith Zephyr lll retip


It’s time for a retip and I wondered if anyone has had experience with the choices offered:  sapphire cantilever with contact line diamond,  ruby cantilever with nude contact line,,, or ruby cantilever with optimized conture nude contact line.   Or simple retip of existing undamaged cantilever.  Advantages ?  Disadvantages?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey thanks for the clarification. I like the existing sound and was nervous about changing it.

Elliottbenewcombjr,,,great info.  Thanks.  That’s what I like about the forums here.

I did in fact call Soundsmith about this, and was told Peter would call me back.  As of today he hasn’t .   And that’s ok I’m sure he’s got a couple of things going on.  I decided on the stock rebuild they offer anyway.  Part of my confusion was kind of funny.  I don’t have a PC at home, so everything is done on my IPhone.  On my phone their website appears very different than on a PC.  I went to the library to run off their shipping label.  Wow what a beautiful website!  And the instructions were very clear.  On my phone I wasn’t sure how the process worked.  I’m sure someone understands how it would appear different.  But I did figure out the part about calling first.  Anyway…love the cartridge. Lots of enjoyable hours on it.
