no warning that cleaning liquids dissolve the glue between cantilever and tip.
he’s been talking about it for years in all the audio forums of the world, I’m sorry you did not know.
What terrible product did you use for cleaning?
Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge
I bought vdH Grasshopper cartridge in 1985. With integrated head shell.
I have retipped twice in the Netherlands. First time, they sent back the regular version that mounts in a head shell.
Now we are at 3rd time. The tip fell off, after I used a stylus cleaning liquid. BTW - no warning that cleaning liquids dissolve the glue between cantilever and tip. Now I am back again for fixing it.
Should I send it in for retip and suspension, close to $ 1,000 or is it time to get something new.
I would really like to stay below $ 1,000. Turntable Oracle Delphi, tone arm ET-2 linear tracking.
