Snapped off my cantilever

Soundsmith will do a great job, but the cartridge you get back is not going to be the same. If you like your cartridge as well as you say you do, have Clearaudio repair it.

Clearaudio is not a customer oriented brand, as they do not do trade ins at reasonable prices. Repair? Forget it as it is not cost effective for them. Hey, we live in a replace universe. Dare to be sensible. Buy a Shure 97 and see if the sound pleases you. At $50, it is a bargain and just may be worthwhile shortcut for now. Oh, by the way I have had a Clearaudio Victory H and I've compared the sound to the Shure. Close to equal, and $2000 less.

Call up your dealer. Mine is v1 and Clearaudio send me v2 for around $1500.

Regards,

Perhaps they do do retips/exchange.

The way I read it, you can trade in your Stradivari for another... Re-Tip/Exchange:
Only $1,687.49!

Pretty expensive

As far as clearaudio not being a custiomer oriented brand, that's ridiculous. They stock parts for every turntable/arm they have ever manufactured. Many of their tables allow for upgrades when they come out.

"Someone in my house"

Oh, sure, "someone". I have a "someone" like that in my house, too. :o)
