Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go


I'm trying to not get worked up because it's a huge trade off. I've put 10hours on it so far. Crisper and more detailed. There's some bass on a couple jazz records that I know and that I very thrilled about. But, everything is bunched up between speakers comparably. In anybody's experience will my Grado Reference1 open back up.  I've not done this before and I'm kinda thinking this is the side of my "new" cart that I'm gonna have to learn to live with. I was warned by plenty of researching that it would change and be a different cart but in my optimism I didn't realize a better (boron cantilever/micro ridge stylus) replacing a previously considered lower quality cantilever/stylus would turn out to be disappointing. Thanks

I gave it my best but I couldn't get it to go. New Ref. Statement v2 on the way. Retip exp. big fail
Retip is a waste of money as I said from the beginning and as you now know first hand. Congrats on a new proper cartridge. 
Yes Invictus you were right. Feel better now. I can honestly say I won't go that route again but I also realize there are plenty of satisfied owners of retipped carts out there in vinyl playback land. Maybe it has something to do with Grado carts possibly not being candidates based on their construction. Who knows. 

@noromance I've been at it all evening and Ill take the risk early in  and state the new cart is pretty dang spectacular but I do want to give it some time before I make an overstatement. But so far from the get go it's really... I think I said wow 3 or 4 times if that tells you anything. I'm really very very happy.
