Hey, just a thought - why wouldn't you ask Soundsmith for their professional input given they have decades of experience?
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
