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

but there is no contact and e-mail address.

Thank you for your advices.

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...:cool:
 
My SUPEX was retipped by SOUNDSMITH and he did really very good job.I advise you that it is also important to change the cantilever if it is not already ruby.From the picture I am not sure from what material is yours.The retipping and new ruby cantilever cost me 250€ all inclusive.

Also a good advice.
Please note: The attached pictures are not my own cartridge devices - I have found on the web. Because such pictures are deleted after a short time (especially by ebay), I have save this examples here.
