Retip for zyx

Tooblue. I am not sure what you are offering. I do own the low output, copper coil, X version of the Universe, but if you have the same, what is there to gain?

Hdm, I have the SS OCL ruby on my Grace Ruby. I agree it’s finicky.

@lewm,I have the same cart on its way back from Sound smith with their boron cantilevered Line Contact diamond rebuild applied, I thought you could compare it to your stock cart and directly compare the two after I get a few hours on it.

tooblue, When you say "the same cartridge", do you refer to the Grace Ruby, or which other?  If the Grace Ruby, you evidently chose to put a boron cantilever on it.  Now it's a Grace Boron.  Neither cartridge is now "stock", but I do own a second Grace Ruby that has still got its OEM cantilever and stylus.  IMO, it sounds a bit different from the SS re-tipped one.  Maybe more top to bottom "continuous" (in HPs terminology) but less exciting and less "you are there".
