Sound-Smith retipping


Recently broke the cantilever on my Dynavector 17D3, although still think cat did it!

Anyone else have experience retipping a 17D3? After researching a few options I ended up contacting and then sending to Sound-Smith.

Don’t understand some negative feedback I’d seen in terms of time and quality. Service was personal, fast (back in 3 weeks from sending out) and best of all sound I feel is improved especially the low end - I went with their Boron Cantilever with nude contact line and the work was done by David Moskowitz. Clearly a great deal of attention was paid taking into account the short cantilever of the original.

Although Peter may perform a QC function on the work of those he employs, he also does the work himself. My Airtight Supreme was tired, cantilever somewhat canted and presumably the stylus was worn. It took Peter a while to get to it, but when he did, he called over a weekend with the cartridge on his bench, told me his findings, and then replaced only the stylus while retaining the factory cantilever after readjusting it. 
Working on cartridges is tedious, delicate work. Older guys like Ledermann and Van den Hul should be supervising. You really want young men and women with rock steady hands and razor keen eye sight doing the construction. Who ever is doing the construction is doing a wonderful job. The Soundsmith Voice I have (sitting in a box) is beautifully constructed. Some day I might even be able to tell how it sounds:-(
Dude! They Blaspheme!!! 

Thy cat didn't write your nonsensical post.

Peter was fighting a covid infection twice.

Your post should be expunged.
dude is Legend, yet the firm like all is made up of…wait for it….imperfect humans. I think i am on 3rd rebuild, always stellar service.

While the Dynavector is a formidable cartridge in stock form, including the Ruby, so happy to hear you are pleased w Soundsmith results.

Perhaps a review ?
