Thanks Raul and Stringreen, I was concerned with that issue since I do have that cart in my rotation and do use the Cardas Album to digauss as well as the Aesthetix A CD-1 MC Demagnetizer and have had no issues that I can detect to this point.
Cartridge with broken coil wire
Hello
I have a Miyabi standard that needs repair. There are 2 fine wires that have be broken where they connect to the output pins. I was told not all retippers will be able to resolder these delicate wires. Could anyone suggest a retipper/repairer that can undertake this task?
I am nor sure whether this was a coincidence or not, but this damage was done about a week after i used the degauss function on my Vida phono stage.

I don't think Peter, (SoundSmith) does coil repair. I thought these guys do, but now i'm not sure: http://phonocartridgeretipping.com/service-phono.html I've used both and had fantastic luck with each. |
There are different ways to judge about ''sense and nonsense'' of whatever advice in this forum. All will assume some criterion. My will be counting while the involved advice is to not solder the coil wire becausse of (destructive?) influence of ''soldering points'' on the ''pureness'' of the (thiny) signal. We have first 4 coil wire which need to be soldered on the 4 cart connectors. Then the cart need to be connected with 8 soldered clips on the headshell wire (=12). The headshell than need to be connected with 4 soldered connectors on the tonearm wire at the front side and then those 4 wire need to be solded to the (female) Din 5 connector at the opposite side (=20). Then we have the phono-cable with (male) Din 5 connector on one side and, say, two RCA connectors on the other side(=28). We should not count the ground wire nor the soldered input connectors on the amp .side. However the expert from Mexico forget to mention where his advice to get new coils for the Miyabi can be ordered. |
Dear @leicachamp : The @mofimadness is a good option and here you can see that this re-tipper can re-coil, as a fact you can see a picture on a Koetsu recoil job: http://www.northwestanalogue.com/cartridge-repairs.html Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
