Retipping Service

Hey Guys,

The tip on my beloved Zyx Universe has broken off. I'm really missing my analog playback.

The stylus is still just fine. However, I would be tempted to have a diamond stylus, from a Sigma, dropped in. But, that's another dream of mine...

Where's a good place to get my Universe retipped? I've heard good things about Soundsmith. But, I tried contacting them a couple times, and haven't heard back. That was 1.5 months ago and not even sure they're still offering a retipping service.

What would you guys recommend?

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 ;-)

Hey Guys,

I went ahead and had Andy Chong (www.phonocartridgeretipping.com) retip my Zyx Universe. I've been listening to my restored cartridge all weekend. He really did a top-flight job.

Communications with Andy were excellent. He was highly-responsive and conscientious. His service was also super fast. I mailed it out on 5/21, and I had my retipped cart back in my hands on 6/7. Start to finish, the entire process was about two weeks, including shipping.

I'd happily recommend Andy's retipping service :)
