My Cartridge needs a new Stylus
Hi Guys, I need to get my stylus replaced on my Supex cartridge and have a question. At this time the cartridge has a Boron Pipe cantilever, The company I decided to do the rebuild, I read good things about, they cannot do the Boron Pipe but can do an aluminum or a sapphire cantilever. My question is, does anyone know if there would be any or what the difference would be in the sound between the cantilevers.

Thefile, Actually Supex was probably distributed by Sumiko. It was the predecessor to the Koetsu line. The cantilever info Nandric was referring to is buried somewhere in the MM thread, the one with 12K + posts. A tube cantilever is more rigid than a rod if the diameter of the tube is larger than the cross section of the rod. Boron tubes are no longer made. Sometimes performance is degraded with a substitute, although I don't know if this is the case with your cart. I don't think you could go wrong with a retip without a new cantilever. The only question would be stylus type. Regards, |
Dear @thefile : Boron pipe?, has no substitute. The boron rod is really diferent, today exist no more boron pipe cantilevers. Beryllium is diferent too. Now, what you need is only a stylus change using the boron pipe cantilever on your cartridge.
