    Call them first. On occasion, they're out of stock and you may have to wait a few weeks. Otherwise, I agree with others...have not had to wait more than a few days for my replacement.

          Audio Technica US has great customer support.

          A very nice part of dealing with a good company and not audiophile pirates like some other outfits that market cartridges based on AT's design.

  I bought 3 or 4 of those in a row when I 1st discovered them back around 1990. I eventually went to a wood bodied Grado. Totally different but much warmer and more rewarding.

• I went from an OC9ML/II to a Denon DL-103 - anumber1 14:43:56 04/14/07 (2)
  In Reply to: Audio Technica OC-9 Finally Died, What Next? posted by Brixton77 on April 14, 2007 at 14:08:31:

  I liked the Denon a lot. Overall it seemed to be a more "musical" cartridge.

  Since, I have had the Denon re-tipped by Sound-Smith (Ruby Cantilever, line contact stylus) and find the upgraded Denon to be one of the best cartridges I have ever owned.

  A new Denon through German seller William Thakker on ebay will run $150 shipped, then the Sound Smith re-tip/upgrade is $250.

  The result is a killer cartridge for $400.

  Of course its JMHO, IME, and YMMV...

    Al, what is the life expectancy of the line contact retipped DL-103 compared to the plain ol' spherical 103?

      It has to be longer than the original conical (I would think).

      Under magnification the tiny stylus bonded to the ruby cantilever looks like it is really high quality. The whole job seems to be of the finest quality really.
