VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

@whart ,

My memory of the reviews on the Monster from 30 years ago was it's great tracking ability. Sounds like Steve kept it's former glory?

Thanks all for your responses and for sharing your experiences with Steve.  

Steve, we spoke briefly on the phone and I was left with the impression that you are knowledgeable and would be a terrific person to deal with.  A couple of things were still not clear to me from our conversation, so perhaps all here would be interested in further clarification:

One of the cartridges that we discussed in our conversation is my Monster SG2000 which needs a new stylus.  The original boron cantilever and suspension seem fine to me.  Would you be able to keep the original cantilever and attach a new micro-ridge profile stylus?  This would be my preference.  If a new cantilever is necessary, can you replace with a boron cantilever?  Same scenario for my Shelter 901 (different tip profile).

Thank you!

Whart and Slaw, the Monster cartridges were indeed great trackers.  Back in the day, they (especially the SG2000) were considered by some to be a particularly good match with the ET2 linear tracker. To this day it is one of my very favorites on that arm.

You’ll need to send me a few pictures of your cartridge. I usually do not like to glue styli onto cantilevers because it will not last as long.
However, I can still install a new boron line contact based on the info you provided about your cartridges. 
Or I can repair each one like I did for whart, using a microridge with aluminum cantilever.

If anyone needs more info or feedback on my service, I originally started out on audiomart or you can look at my facebook page for more of my recent repairs (vasnyinc).
