VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?


Any experience with or opinions about VAS/Steven Leung repair/retipping service?  Not for VAS cartridge.

Thanks!

Well, based on the very positive comments here, I sent my ZYX Airy 3 out to VAS today for an inspection and possible boron cantilever/microridge stylus combo.

Steve's a good guy.

Am I missing something here ?
You sent in a cartridge to VAS at the beginning of November and got it back in 3 weeks ??
I sent mine in at the end of June and it wasn`t done until October, how does that work ?
Seriously

chakster...
I realized it wasn`t an original cantilever when looking through the 10X loop while setting up the cartridge using my Mint protractor.
I`ll post my impressions once I get it back.
Anybody interested in a review of my VAS rebuild of my ZYX Airy 3 ?
Back story:
I bought it used and used it for about 2 years.
Sounded really nice IMO but, I really didn`t know the true condition being that I did buy it used with untold hours.

Anyway ...I decided to send it off to Steve who on inspection said it looked like it had a Paratrace stylus put on it previously but that it  still looked pretty good
I asked him to go ahead and just put a  whole new Namiki boron/MR assembly on it and that way I`d be good to go just like brand new.

It should be here any time soon !


At this point...I honestly wish I never saw this thread because that`s what motivated me to send my ZYX off to Steve Leung at VAS in the first place.  

I sent my cartridge to him back in June 2020 (had a couple hiccups here and there) but as of yet... I still don`t have my cartridge back in working order. He was paid too. 

I`ve sent a number of polite emails (trying not to be pushy)...He say`s he`s "trying to catch up"
