VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

@slaw - Your post would have some value if you included details of your experience to support your statement. Thanks for sharing!

Actually my example had two dead shorts in the same coil.
Steve thought it looked like a huge static blast or similar as there was evidence of black charring as well.
please note I bought it used and obviously it had been WELL used as it was dead in one channel on arrival.

I was extremely pleased that Steve could repair and return to service for me.

Frogman, send it back to the manufacturer if you don't like taking risks. Once you get it back you can sell it as new and upgrade:)

Steve is a gem in the industry. Peter is a great asset as well--and a poet. We are lucky to have them.

Steve recently did two Denon Dl-103 carts for me, one was a DL-103S that he retipped and the other was a DL-103 that he potted in a wood body I provided and installed a new cantilever and stylus. Excellent work for a very reasonable price.Plus he is only an hour from me!
