NEVER BUY CHEAP CASSETTES - - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
@leemurray2007Is it essential to put a screaming title? Don't you even know a little about the rules of "netiquette"? 
Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse?
@erikt    350 hours equals about 525 LPs .... sure you have listened to 525 LPs in 3 years?

whilst Sapphire, Ruby, Diamond and exotic composites make up the numbers. you are worse than a woman who loves rings with these stones!  ha ha haaa 
Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II?
Do you know what kind of alloy they are using for the cantilever? No the user manual does not explain it or at least I was unable to identify the composition; explains the body, the stylus, the suspension, other details but not the details of ...

Oh that would be very cool indeed! Well, now I'm at work but give me a few hours and when I get home I take a picture and put it in view.

If the body were aluminum I don’t think anyone could tighten a head shell bolt that tight to break those mounting tabs as they are quite thick. I have some reviews and tests in the magazines of the time and they claimed that this "sintered alumin...

Van den hul’s work in my experience ( 35 years ) is superb. Better this way, it is right that there are also satisfied fans; here I hope that only the lived experiences will be brought back, not the saloon chatter.

He repaired a broken cartridge.If you didn't want vdh to sign his work, then you should have sent the cartridge back to the manufacturer for repair. The friend reported that it was sent to VDH just for a simple check as it had stood still in it...

I was unaware that the Ortofon bodies were fragile in any way. @neonknight   it is sintered aluminum, it is very hard but also fragile especially if you tighten the screws very hard.The 3000Mk2 version entered the market in 1990 and has been i...

Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍
Certainly not all. VDH fixed around 10-12 non VDH cartridges with success and only on one of them used an easy to take out stiker. have you checked well with a magnifying glass if he has applied his signature on your cartridges?Give me the time...

@mijostyn....and VDH cartridges also very expensive or at the top ordered to the shopkeeper "new" that arrive with the cantilever not in axis or with channels umbalanced .....do we want to discuss quality controls? Bahhhhh.Better to spread a veil ...

When I asked local VdH distributor about rebuild/retip they did not even replied to my request! Better this way ... maybe you saved your cartridge!I would never send a cartridge to VDH first of all because he has the habit of signing by engraving...
