Amazing Cartridge Repairs by Vinyl Audio Science!

A correction is required, as the Cart' Model was the Proteus 👍

You lost me at why you are averse to having a cartridge repaired in the UK, except for the new economic disconnect between the UK and EU. Doesn’t the same apply to doing business in the US? Also is there evidence that other repairers in the US  or abroad cannot work on the Transfiguration Proteus?

I am commending the repairer of the Proteus, I have shared my intentions for a owned Cart' and they fully understood my intention and have also carried out work on another Cart' of the same model.

The owner of the Proteus contacted myself making their satisfaction with the returned Cart' known.

My system has had devices used within it, imported from the US in the years past and is to have a device used in it that was developed in the US in the near future, the parts to produce it are being acquired at present.

In relation to a Cart' being worked on by a Third Party Service, there is no averse thoughts toward any service, my statement made in the first post, is recognising that trust is a important factor, this trust was originally formed when using selected services based in mainland Europe.

A very high level of knowledge from Technicians offering their service for a price that is seen as quite fair, at a reasonable turnaround time, this is where the trust comes in.

I as well as others in the UK are seeing the trust side of the arrangement is to be formed in the USA, now that services in mainland Europe don't like to incur the messy costs that are commonly attached to a service offered to the UK, there is a frustration and requests for a service have been declined.  

"To have a access to a Third Party Service that can be trusted with the required work to be carried out, that is offered outside of the Cart's Manufactures Supply Chain is a very valuable service to have knowledge of". 

The above is available in the US, Technicians are seeing a regular turnover of repairs at all levels of need, and their skills are regularly attuned to the task in hand and for this I am grateful.  

Steve at VAS is a great guy and resource. Cartridge retipping is just one of the services he offers. He's a truly excellent tech.

@lewm    are you now any less in the dark than before? I'm sure not.
