In Reply to: RE: So why don't you want the LP-S?? ... posted by Roastaman on December 27, 2016 at 14:20:52
It sounds like I made the right choice opting for a 3rd re-tip on my LP rather than trading up to an LP-S!! :-))
This time I sent it to North West Analogue in the UK (the previous 2 re-tips were sent back to the factory) and, although it's taken much longer than they promised, they are also giving me new coils wound with some new wire that Dominic has just found. So hopefully it will sound better, as well as having a new stylus.
BTW, what loading to you use. As you know, the Benz LP spec-sheet said 470-47K ... I have found 3K3 to sound the best - as has a mate who also has an LP.

Andyr,
Are you in the US or UK? You were able to send it back to Benz for a re-tip? I've been told (for a long time now) Benz no longer do that, at least from the US. The guy I bought my new LP from said that in the EU Benz still markets the LP and that it out sells the LP-S big time. Funny, in the US it's almost near impossible to get one and you have to be trading in a LP or LP-S to get one. Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
Next time I'm in the EU I'll have to see what's available?
Are you happy with the new rebuild? The guy that sold me my LP has sent a few cart's to van den Hul and has been very happy with the results.
I am in Oz, R.
Yeah, it was several years ago that I last sent the LP to the factory for a re-tip ... the reason I sent it to NWA this time was because I had also heard they don't do re-tips any more.
Can't tell you whether I'm happy with the rebuild ... it hasn't arrived back, yet.
