My experience with re-tips is that they do not need any break-in, and sound as good as they ever will on the first play. If a cartridge has been rebuilt, though, I would expect it to need the suspension breaking in.
Break in for a retip?
Hello all,
Lots of conflicting information out there about whether or not a retipped stylus needs a break in. Some people on audio forums say that the stone needs polishing; others say that the stylus doesn't break in at all- it's the suspension. And others say that retipping itself is pointless.
Is there anyone here who can provide a definitive answer?
And yes, I did just receive my retipped Hana SH.
