Recommendations for retipping service for my Benz-Micro?

I had my Benz-Micro retipped by Cartridgeman in the UK years ago, but I'm unaware of how the retipping market may have shifted and would be grateful for some recommendations.

elunkenheimer,

You are correct, getting just the tip done is an option with Soundsmith. Thats what I just had done with my Benz.

I have employed  Andy's Needle Clinic three times. And the last was a retip of a Benz H2. I highly recommend him.

To my knowledge the best is ''Expert Stylus&Cartridge Co.''

They first inspect the cart and then give you the best advice

they can. Besides they do the ''real retip'' with their Paratrace

stylus. That is to say only the stylus in the existing cantilever.

The most other do the more easy job by gluing the whole new

cantiever/stylus combo instead. Curiously this is more expensive.

Thanks to all.  Nandric brings up an important question. So to Steelyjoe and others here: Some provider's "retipping service" process involves only the stylus, but for other providers their "retipping service" process will involve for both stylus and cantilever?
