I retipped a Lyra Helikon. I sounded good but it wasn't a Helikon anymore. Certain things are just different and I imagine it's not the same with all cartridges but you have to be aware that it's not like buying a new Benz, or even like buying a used one.

Will you care to elaborate on this proposition? I am not able to 'see' any causal relationship. Besides the complexity of the repair will obviously increase as will the possibility to go wrong. Ie one get some other stylus as well as suspension. If we add the cantilever then we have 3 variables. Regards,
