Waaaah. Snapped off my cantilever.


Today I bumped the needle of my Dynavector XX-2 MkII, it's a big bucks cartridge for me, I've only had it about six months, and 2 of those months I couldn't use it because my pre-amp was in for re-tubing.

Makes me understand why some stick with CD's/Downloads and solid state equipment.

Looks like Soundsmith is the way to go to repair it, but please do chime in if you have any other recommendations. Thanks.

Can you send it back to Dynavector through your dealer or distributor? I'm just wondering why the recommendations I read are always for Soundsmith and other services rather than the original manufacturer. Is it based on cost and repair time?
So, are you writing that the OP's Dynavector will sound better, cost less and be repaired quicker if he sends it to Soundsmith rather then sending it to Dynavector? If so, that would certainly be worth considering. What are the comparable costs and time estimates? I imagine the resulting sonic differences would be subjective.
