Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go


I'm trying to not get worked up because it's a huge trade off. I've put 10hours on it so far. Crisper and more detailed. There's some bass on a couple jazz records that I know and that I very thrilled about. But, everything is bunched up between speakers comparably. In anybody's experience will my Grado Reference1 open back up.  I've not done this before and I'm kinda thinking this is the side of my "new" cart that I'm gonna have to learn to live with. I was warned by plenty of researching that it would change and be a different cart but in my optimism I didn't realize a better (boron cantilever/micro ridge stylus) replacing a previously considered lower quality cantilever/stylus would turn out to be disappointing. Thanks

Retip is a waste of money as I said from the beginning ...
That's a pretty broad statement. I've had excellence experience with a retip by Soundsmith. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Most people who retip their cartridges can't afford proper replacements and shouldn't have bought expensive items in the first place. Then they have to convince themselves that somehow the retip sounds as good. 
@invictus005, I almost went with The Statement V2 but at that price way too much to replace right now even at the $2350 exchange price. I can handle a grand seems very fair ya know for the enjoyment that we get from music.
