Got my cartridge back from SoundSmith

Posted by jedrider (A) on January 18, 2017 at 19:46:44

I was warned 2-4 months for a rebuild! It took 'two' exactly, so I guess I was lucky! One extra month because I was on vacation when the cartridge was ready. In the meantime, I managed to now accumulate enough CDs so that I could go either way and also I rid my collection of any noisy LPs.

Sound-Smith also gives you a dozen page handout on how to install and maintain your newly rebuilt cartridge. Who's going to wait to read that? No alignment, just put it back where you knew you last had it mounted. I'm thankful for those l-o-n-g Cardas clips that the original owner installed, which makes it so easy to re-clip.

Sounded good, but I forgot to check the weight, oh no! Right on the money, though, at 1.9g and SoundSmith tells you your tracking range of 1.8-2.0 grams.

Sounds better than ever. Who knows how many years I was playing records with a worn cartridge? I bought the Benz Ace L used 13 years ago, don't even remember.

What about all those CDs that I've accumulated? Who cares!

Turntable is pretty modest Rega Planar 3.
