VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?

I have had a similar experience when using a Third Party Rebuild Service.
Cartridge returned in a very reasonable Time Frame approx' One Month

When Cartridge was compared to a OEM Model it was the rebuilt model that most impressed the attendees at the audition.

I Can't vouch for a comparison against a New OEM Model, as this option was not available.

I had Steve do work on 2 cartridges late last year for me. I sent him two Namiki boron cantilevers with MR styli that I had myself and had him install those on an AT 33 Mono and an SAEC C1. 

Extremely happy with the work-turnaround time could possibly have been a bit better but as mentioned above, Covid has wreaked havoc with a lot of our schedules lately and I believe Steve finished one fairly quickly but the other might have sat around for a bit. In any event, a couple of months was still ok in my book. 

I'm set for cartridges now for a few years. They're both endgame cartridges for me (fully realizing that they might be considered entry level by others LOL!) and sound really, really good IMO. 

I would not hesitate to use Steve again or recommend him.  

I like him. very easy communicate, prompt with response and did a good job with collapsed suspension. which is not easy as you need do some recoiling from what I understand 

will send u a video clip to verify everything is fine

how is axel of Germany btw? 

 

Axel is retired.

Anybody interested in a review of my VAS rebuild of my ZYX Airy 3 ?
Back story:
I bought it used and used it for about 2 years.
Sounded really nice IMO but, I really didn`t know the true condition being that I did buy it used with untold hours.

Anyway ...I decided to send it off to Steve who on inspection said it looked like it had a Paratrace stylus put on it previously but that it  still looked pretty good
I asked him to go ahead and just put a  whole new Namiki boron/MR assembly on it and that way I`d be good to go just like brand new.

It should be here any time soon !
