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

This is a picture of my 17DS with Diamond Cantilever on macro lens. 
Re-tipping this cartridge is a very bad idea and it will be inferior compared to the oiginal! Gemstone cantilever and nude diamond is one piece as you can see. SoundSmith can only drop a glue to fix his diamond on it, think about rigidity of this combination compared to the original @tketcham

I own a Cadenza Bronze and have heard the Red. Also owned the Kontra "a", Kontra "c", and Jubilee, which were predecessors of the Red, Bronze, and Black respectively. With Benz I had the Glider L2, Wood M2, and a Reference 3 Copper.

I like both the Red and Bronze a lot at their respective price points. I stayed away from the Black because I didn't love the Jubilee, and have read reports that make it sound like it's an improved Jubilee (i.e. lacking some warmth of the Bronze). Of course I think the Bronze is better, but the Red is really solid at that price, and it can rock! Haven't heard the Blue or its predecessor, but it looks cool too. 

New 17D3 cartridges are available on ebay.

I know pictures can sometimes be deceiving but your cantilever looks much more hefty than my Karat D3 by the naked eye? Your stylus looks very sharp.

This is 17 DS version, pretty rare one, here you can read what is the difference between DS and conventional D versions.
