I have two cartridges I plan on having re tipped by Soundsmith. One is a Shelter 501 II, and the other is a Lyra Lydian B. Both of these came originally with boron cantilevers. Is it worth the $450 each for the boron or should I go for the $350 ruby?
I can't swear to this, but I do believe the Mk3 was at most only a few hundred bucks more than the Mk2 (not double the price of a Mk2), last spring when I was in Tokyo. It may even have been the same price. I eventually bought a Mk2 Mono.
