VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

Steve did an amazing job fixing my VPI Traveler's arm bearings that were defective, and even VPI could not repair it.  He replaced the damaged Sapphire bearings with Ruby bearings and it works like new.  His charges were surprisingly low given what he did.

As part of this repair package Steve also crafted a VAS cartridge for me, which was an open-bodied Denon DL-103 but with a Micro Ridge Stylus.  This cartridge, even without breaking in, sounds incredible.  I couldn't recommend Steve any higher, and would encourage you to try his repair services, or the open-bodied DL-103 conversion.

Steve made me a special custom low output (0.40mv) cartridge with a micro-ridge stylus.  It sounds fabulous and is one of the best bargains around.  I then damaged the cartridge when trying to mount it on a different table, by touching the tiny wires in the open body, resulting in one channel going out.  Steve repaired it for me and even put additional wooden side protectors to preempt by butterfingers doing it again, for free.  So impressed, I sent a stock DL-103 to him for an open body conversion; his price for the job was about the same as what it would cost for a wooden body on eBay.  The man is a genius and his services are super affordable.
