I am looking arround for special companies here in Europe for restauration of the Models MCZ2 and MCZ7 (MC/Z-2 and MC/Z-7) from Dr. Hibino, labelled with "ZENN" so as "Klipsch".
I know

Thank you for your advices.

The Expert Stylus Co. in the UK retipped my Linn Troika and hundreds of others.
The name says it all. Not cheap but the best.
Soundsmith in the U.S. are also said to do a good job and cheaper.

I bought a damaged Denon 103 and got retipped, with new boron stylus by Torlai, Pickup Service di Torlai Roberto, pickupservice@torlai.it .

The job was so successful than a friend of mine, who was using ONLY high priced VdH cartridges, sold everything and bought a 103 R...

Of course I have NO connection with this business, just am a satisfied customer.

If you are living in Europe, Torlai is one of few retipping specialist in your continent, together with VdH, The Cartridge Man, just browse the net, check the offered options and compare prices, IMHO of course...

RE: VdH address

For what I know, you should contact your local VdH distributor and have your cartridge sent to him, for other specialists, you should send your cartridge directly to them, after due confirmation of job to be done, prices and timing.

Also a good advice.
