Retipping Service

Thanks guys - I greatly appreciate your input!

Chong's retipping service seems like a viable option. Call me old fashioned; but I talking to someone before I pay money and ship an expensive cart.

I'll let you guys know how much this ends up costing and the quality of the work, in case you're interested...

can recommend him by refering to many satisfy customers
in the MM thread. I can add his 40+ years of experience.

Dear Maddman79: +++++ " The tip on my beloved Zyx Universe has broken off. " +++++

why?: " my beloved ", I assume that you really like the Universe quality performance level, that you like what you hear throught it.

There are several rettiping sources as the ones posted here and all them works fine but if " that beloved " is what you like then IMHO you must go directly to ZYX for the rettiping subject.

Through all those fix sources the Universe quality performance level will change for sure and not necessary for the better but only different. When your Universe return from the retipping you will receive a different cartridge. If this is what you want then go a head.

Now, the ZYX main alternative is that your Universe stay as a Universe and not only that: normally the cartridge manufacturers when in the retipping they send you a totally new cartridge with all the up dates they made it in the design and that several times they don't advertazing, so you will have a top today up-dated Universe. In the otehr side there are some cartridge parts that are made it exclusively for the manufacturer and no one have access to those parts.

One thing is to retip a low price LOMC cartridge or a MM/MI one and other thing is to retip a 5K+ cartridge.

Your choice.

Regrads and enjoy the music,

Give it back to Sorasound. Top Service.

Lew, you should call or e-mail Andy. He fixed a sagging suspension on my Shelter 901 and has retipped two Koetsu cartridges for a friend of mine. We both thought his work was great. Web page design - Not as great ;-)
