Supex SDX-1100r Phono Cartridge

Anybody own or know anything about this cartridge?  I see one for sale on Ebay that would probably need a retip soon.

I owned a Supex sd-900 cartridge many years ago, and I really liked it.

Does anyone know if I can still get a retip done on this cartridge?  If so, who can do it?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes, that's the one.  Thanks for the advice.

Anyone have experience with this cartridge?

elliotbnewcombjr,

The link you posted is for a  SUPEX SDX-1000 MC Cartridge, not the same animal.

Looks like Soundsmith and VAS both work with ruby cantilevers.  Soundsmith seems to have reasonable prices, I have yet to confirm with VAS on pricing.

Thanks,

Hi, I owned only SD-909 mkII (perfect original sample / original stylus tip) and it was too dark in my system with built-in 1:10 SUT in my WLM Reference Phonata (phono stage). It was on Reed 3p "12 inch tonearm Technics SP-10 mkII) turntable.

When I replaced Supex SD909 mkII with Garrott p77 (MM) I was shocked, both are vintage cartridges, but Garrott was absolutely amazing on Reed 3p and definitely much better than my Supex 909 mkII.

Good news is that Garrott available new here (improved version) and probably it’s better to invest in a new MM than to mess around with re-tipping old MC ?

Garrott p77i cost AUD 690 ans it’s just USD 525

P.S. Ruby cantilever alone will cost you $350 if you will check prices here.
