What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge?
Very educational and very easy to put the cart before the horse during repair. Will there be any return policy if you do not like the sound the repair makes? It would be interesting to hear if retipping or other repairs restore the sound you were ... 
Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!!
As a kid  I bough a used HHScott integrated back in 1967 and off I go. I then progressed to an all Adcom system driving Snell C2 speakers all bought used including interconnects and speaker cables.  After decades of flawless use a few years ago I ...

Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
heretobuy New does not work that way used does. Dealers have all that overhead to contend with and a small market so they are not gonna negotiate that much.

Canton Reference Any opininion?
Well its 2023 and I figured anyone looking for gear now and stumbled upon canton would get a new entry update. Sooo I own the 9k reference model for many years and they look and sound as new, which is as instruments and music sound.   
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
The world is filled with A holes you run into them all your life these are just Audiogon a holes. The flip side of course are those folks with the knowledge and kindness to help in a non-judgmental way. As in life you take the good with the bad.  
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
To each his own as for me it is digital all the way. albums are too costly, to fragile, to much a hassle to maintain for the perceived sound benefit. Oh, I own the Technics SUG 700  and it is a nice piece of gear for sure.
