Miracle by Joseph long on Dynavector XX2MKII cartridge

Lewm, I'm glad I gave you something humorous to give you a chuckle. I have to stop and laugh at myself now and again these days being this age, and having had a stroke, I'm glad I can still remember my own name. Most of my life, I was very good at spelling and remembering words and how to use them. I feel lucky I was able to get the Dynavector mounted and aligned, and I'm grateful that it sounds so very good, I don't know what kind of earth-moving equipment Kometsu makes (they probably don't either).

I'm pretty sure it will be the last cartridge I will ever set up. I heard back from Joseph, he reminded me of the high purity halogen-free silver-plated copper wire coils he used during the rebuild. Yes Koetsu is what I meant to say, getting old has it's drawbacks, you know?

Dan - enjoy it ! revel in it, lavish praise..celebrate the music and the black disc…. i always enjoy your posts… spelling is optional… but i am just a cave man amidst the brilliant

Of course I knew you’d made an innocent typo error. I think there is a Korean or Japanese company whose name at least begins with “Kom…”, who make earth moving equipment. Anyway, what cantilever and stylus has you so ecstatic?

I have had a few conversations with Joseph about the finer points of retipping and would not hesitate to recommend him.  He is a genuine problem solver and the stories on his instagram page lay out his capabilities.

My only (minor and amusing actually) issue with Joseph was that when I discussed with him the re-tipping of my Koetsu Urushi, he laid out so many possibilities, nearly any combo of cantilever and stylus shape that one can think of, that I felt confused when I really wanted some guidance. He did seem like a fine person, and I would readily use his services. Partly for this reason, I would STILL like to know what cantilever and stylus shape were chosen by Islandman.
