Soundsmith re-tips received today


I had 3 cartridges done and installed an Audioquest 7000 onto my Graham 2.2 , which is mounted on a Symphonic Line Turntable.

Right out of the box this thing sounds spectacular, I had expected some rough hours before break-in. Any others get their re-tips sounding great right away?

Justlisten,

Which level of rebuild did you choose for the AQ7000? AQ 7000 remains one of my all time favorites and I also got one that needs to be rebuilt.

I'd appreciate your reply
Hi Raul

That makes a lot of sense....that there would be little break in period on a retip.

Opus, I just told Soundsmith to do whatever would sound best no matter the cost. This is what he suggested and I did with the Audioquest

Update on RA12412 - status: Your cartridge has been received.-Please allow 10-12wks for rebuild. The suspension appears ok, the stylus should be replaced while keeping the original boron cantilever. I would suggest our \"retip only\" option and get the CL stylus for $350.00. Please advise. Thank you, paid: ,
Price breakdown:
I bough a new Soundsmith AIDA cartridge from Mr Peter
Letterman, and I was surprise to find out that if
there was any questions in regard to the sound of the
cartridge he would personally contact the costumer to make sure that you was happy with sound of the cartridge. This is far and beyond what I spected.

A very very happy costumer. I forget to mention that my AIDA replaced the Clearaudio Maestro, the AIDA is a killer it is as simple as that.

I'm also very happy customer , and also well over 60 like you guys and bright, tipped up carts are blessing . With SS carts I don't even have to use my hearing aid most of the time ...
