Dear @best-groove : " with electric pen on the body all the cartridges that pass through his hands..."
Certainly not all. VDH fixed around 10-12 non VDH cartridges with success and only on one of them used an easy to take out stiker. VDH fixed to me and other two gentlemans an almost new EPC100C MK4 cartridges that I don’t knew was a reference for him and still uses.
Is it the best re-tipper out there or the best alternative? maybe not today there are several very good re-tippers but VDH makes a good job in a decent time and not so expensive as some of the other re-tippers.
In the other side nothing is perfect in the audio world that sometimes happens what your brother experienced.
"" do we want to discuss quality controls? "" .
Come on, sometimes even from new top of the line LOMC " things " happens like whe the Anna just appeared in the market. Obviously Ortofon took care of the owners and fixed one for all the " problem " with the next Anna samples.
But rigth in this thread mijostyn posted what happened to him with a new Clearaudio and I remember very well that been at the place of a very good friend in a trip to houston he had mounted in his Rockpot rig a Lyra Titan i and when the cartridge started to track the first LP we detected that something was wrong because we were listened some kind of music/sound but totally wrong, then after a while and checking every where we took in count that the Titan i had not the stylus tip and I saked him how many hour of play had that cartridge and he told me around 200 hours.
Btw, normally I don’t send to any re-tipper a top of the line recent LOMC cartridge but to the manufacturer for a change by.
