VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

Huge thumbs up for Steven!

I sent him a Koetsu Black Goldline that only played on one channel.

He diagnosed broken coil wire and repaired same and returned to me all within 3 weeks.
I thought price was fair and it now is playing on my 401 like a good un!

FWIW, How would an issue like a broken coil wire occur?

I just got my Benz L2 back after Steve replaced a bad coil and the old stylus.  I don't remember it ever sounding as good as it sounds now.  Highly recommended.

Slaw, use your imagination.  Maybe being mishandled or dropped, for instance?

Steve at VAS is fantastic, he re-built a EMT Cartridge for me last year that another reputable cartridge servicing shop said was un repairable.  It's now back to its former glory.

This year he rebuilt a Benz Glider for me - which was turned down by the importer for repair.  Steve is the go to guy for cartridge repair, highly recommended.

Good Listening

Steve repaired and retipped my Dynavector 20xHO.  He did a superb job.  Next time I need this kind of work done Steve will be my choice instead of Soundsmith.
