Either move up to the 20 series, or get another type of cart. 10x5's are garbage. Sound is ok, but a 20 series will last longer than 2 10x5's making it a cheaper buy. The 10x5 cantilevers suck.

I wouldn't exactly call the 10X5 garbage, but I do agree that this may be a good time to look at a 20X or something else like a Ortophon Black. Yes, it is money, but, go ahead, live a little. Maybe you are lucky, forced to upgrade against your will. It's only pennies a play. If money is really tight right now though, the Audio Technica 150MLX which is discounted on the 'net might fill in nicely. Don't let the low price fool you, it's the real deal.

There is another excellent retipper in the Pacific Northwest:

I have had a cartridge suspension repaired and a friend of mine has had two cartridges retipped by Andy. All we good experiences and I would recommend Andy.
