    Cantilever not parallel with cartridge body

    Hey guys. I had my Koetsu cartridge cleaned up and re-tipped. Things looked and sounded fine when I went to pick it up from the shop that fixed it. After looking at things more closely when I got home though, I noticed that the cantilever appears to be askew from the cartridge body itself...

    Denon DL-103 + 'cheapie' Soundsmith Retip.

    Hi all, I purchased a used Denon DL-103 of the ZU variety, which is a DL-103 that it's been potted in an aluminum body. The seller had broken the cantilever and he'd had it re-tipped at Soundsmith and has never used it. He got the cheapest retip option, which is the 'Aluminum Alloy...
