    Default ZYX R100 Yatra MC cartridge for retipping. £100!

    Selling my ZYX R100 Yatra. I checked it yesterday, only to find the diamond stylus tip has gone!

    The body and Boron cantilever are fine. As can be seen in the photo, the rear of the diamond still protrudes from the back of the cantilever tip. I figure the diamond must have had a flaw and the tip broke off. It was fine when I last used it recently and sounding absolutely superb.

    Anyway. This is a perfect candidate for a retip. It's a scarce item that sold for £1200 new, so I reckon £100 plus carriage (UK only) is a reasonable asking price. Spend a couple of hundred on it and have a top notch MC! Comes in orginal box.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    If I was going to have it done, I'd speak to Goldring first. They have a good reputation for repairing other makes.
