Snapped off my cantilever

Someone in my house snapped the cantilever off my Clearaudio Stradivari. I am so upset, it had about 200 hours on it and it sounded just wonderful. I think I am going to purchase another one if I can, but I am open to suggestions. Here is my system. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Why not just re-tip the Stradivari? Wouldn't that be least expensive and get you back to the sound you were really beginning to enjoy?

I don't know what to say.. that totally sucks..
Can it be rebuilt? Can you talk to your dealer about options and maybe he can give you a trade-in deal?
Just curious

it happens...you're not alone--believe me. I've sent my carts with snapped off cants Soundsmith. You can expect a couple months wait for repair but it's worth it.

Lovely system! Very sorry to hear of the accident.

Soundsmith will do a great job on your cart, but you will have to be patient. Do you have a backup cartridge?
