Retip for zyx

@lewm,I have the same cart on its way back from Sound smith with their boron cantilevered Line Contact diamond rebuild applied, I thought you could compare it to your stock cart and directly compare the two after I get a few hours on it.

tooblue, When you say "the same cartridge", do you refer to the Grace Ruby, or which other?  If the Grace Ruby, you evidently chose to put a boron cantilever on it.  Now it's a Grace Boron.  Neither cartridge is now "stock", but I do own a second Grace Ruby that has still got its OEM cantilever and stylus.  IMO, it sounds a bit different from the SS re-tipped one.  Maybe more top to bottom "continuous" (in HPs terminology) but less exciting and less "you are there".

@lewm he is talking about refurbished ZYX Universe copper coil cartridge i believe

Chakster is exactly right, the cartridge I am offering to send you, after a brief breakin, is an original ZYX Universe with copper coils .24 output with the silver base that is on its way to me from Sound smith with a new Boron canti!ever and Line Contact stylus installed. This would give you the opportunity to directly compare a stock one to a soundsmith rebuilt one and report your findings to the masses.
