    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...

    Stylus with an angle greater than 100°

    Hi all, The other day I was cleaning the area around my turntable and decided to move the turntable without realizing the tone arm was not properly secured, resulting in the tone arm moving all over the place.

    AT-VM95ML SRA and Compliance Qs

    I recently bought an AT-VM95ML mainly to improve my inner groove distortion that I found present on brand new records with my previous elliptical (Clearaudio Concept MM v1). I aligned it in Lofgren A, and it has done that job very well, so overall I'm happy. Now that I have my setup in a better...

    Soundsmith, I broke the cantilever on my Denon Zu 103. :(

    Hi all, it took next to nothing to break the cantilever from my Denon Zu 103. There is was, just lying beneath the cartridge... On the upside (desperate for a silver lining here), I bought this DL-103 Zu (not 103R), after it had been retipped at Soundsmith by a previous owner, and he chose the...

    Audio Technica AT-15SS beryllium cantilever assembly repair: success!

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Some of you might know this vintage AT cartridge series, a great MM design with a beryllium cantilever and super tiny shibata that's rare as hen's teeth.

    Cantilever Isn't Straight

    Hello All This is my first time posting and am looking for some advice. I just purchased a Shure M97xE cartridge from Amazon and received it today. Upon opening the package and inspecting the cartridge I noticed that the cantilever is ever so slightly bent to the left, I'd say by about 0.25 -...
