A diamond tip will last at least 1000-hours. Lyra claims up to 2500-hours for theirs. How many years will you play the cartridge before it needs a retip?I'm not sure I would base my cartridge buying decision on the cost of a retip. Furthermore, Soundsmith seems to have set prices regardless of cartridge make and model. I would recommend basing the cartridge buying decision on whether I thought I would enjoy the cartridge for the 1000 to 2500-hours of playing time rather than whether I might damage it on installation or whether I could afford a future retip. But, maybe that's just me.
Good luck,
John Elison
