I just moved across the country and had all my stuff ( stereo included) sent in a Pod. It was right in the middle of the big cold spell we had a month back. Well when I get it all unpacked I notice my cartridge no longer is in possession of a stylus. Cantilever is there but no stylus. Its a Dynavector 20X-2. I sent it to VAS in New Jersey to fix it. He replaced the cantilever with a boron one and a micro ridge diamond. I drove over and picked it up and when I got home I dialed it in and settled back for a listen. I was simply blown away by the improvement. It was a lot like the change when I swapped out my resistive volume control for an autoformer. More detail. Transient response was faster with better defined edges. Richer tone. I stayed up for hours playing records. I couldn't stop. It cost me $450 to have it done. And it was worth twice that much money IMO. If anyone needs their Aluminum cantilevered cartridge retipped go for the Boron. If it is anything like how mine turned out you will be thrilled.
