Another favorite cartridge vanishes.. Dynavector 17D3. GONE! replaced..

Got the latest Music Direct catalog today, looked at cartridges. Hmmm no 17D3? instead at nearly twice as expensive 17DX from Dynavector... Tell me NOT SO! Sadly true, the 17D3 is discontinued.                          
Guess what is my favorite cartridge... Yes 17D3. The other is Benz Glider..                         
Just my luck.

Hi, Elizabeth,

I was also surprised at the price jump in the 17DX cartridge. So instead of trading in my 17D3 for a replacement I was thinking instead to give a Soundsmith retip a try. Replacing the stylus on that short cantilever might be troublesome though.

Anyone done a Soundsmith retip on a 17D3?
