Thanks!

The past three months or so I've been in the process of packing up everything, selling my home and moving to another state. Unfortunately, in the process of setting up my system in my new home I apparently succeeded in bumping my mono cartridge cantilever so it needed to be reset . . . . So off to Steve's it goes without being able to play a single mono LP.. . . . I was however able to set up my stereo tonearm and begin dialing in my system. Well after only a couple nights my play back with the stereo cart suddenly deteriorated badly. After testing with adjust+ it was confirmed my stereo cart was also now derailed/DOA !!!! Holy crap - I’m certainly on a roll !! So off to Steve's it goes as well !!!


Fast forward, I now have both cartridges back, set up and playing vinyl. I can report back that Steve properly set up my MIYAJIMA ZERO mono cart (and did a tuneup as he called it) - and completely rebuilt my TRANSFIGURATION PROTEUS stereo cart (new cantilever/stylus and rebuilt the suspension). I am happy to report my overall playback has never sounded better.  

Over several years Steve has done many things for me (rewired tonearms, built and repaired other cartridges, and done other miscellaneous analog audio work) - he is highly recommended from me.
