Repairing EMT cartridge

Caution here-- have it done by EMT service. Contact Tone Imports.
Anywhere else just sticks a generic cantilever in.
You have a great cartridge. Why compromise?

Sorry to hear that Mikeyc8. I have been lucky w/ my Tsd-15 so far, but things can happen. Thinking on the bright side, you would get a new life with a true factory rebuild. Get yourself a good MM, and play around with it while Jonathan takes care of your JSD-5. This, assuming you don't have a backup. A Denon 103 comes to mind first, if your arm is a decent match. Chasas1 gives good advice, IMHO. At the very least, do run this by Jonathan.

Soundsmith and Domenic can do it relatively cheap, but I was wondering if they put a generic "ruby cantilever and stylus" how that would change the sonic signature of the cart vs doing a factory rebuild? I'll take your advice and contact Tone Import to get a quote also.
Thanks

Mikeyc8- I have dealt with Peter Lederman. He is a class act, and extremely skilled at what he does. I know JH is a straight shooter, so bounce it off him, and go from there. Best of luck !
