    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...

    Nagaoka MP-30 retip success!

    It's been a while since I've attempted a homebrew retip. It is time. Muahahaha! So, I've had this MP-30 for a while. Three years maybe? When I first got it, the suspension was shot. It sounded horrible, sagged and and dragged it's belly after about 30 seconds in the groove. I WD-40'd it, and it...

    I got a Soundsmith level 2 stylus on a DL-110

    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...
