    Newby here, sort of. You guys have much better systems than I do!
    I am lucky enough to have 2 NOS shure vn35MR stylie and a couple of normal v15 type 3 stylie. I'm seriously conciddering having one of them paratraced, but I got a paratrace on an m44-7 years ago and thought it was awful! probably the cartridge's fault and I'm not entirely sure what made me do this as I knew going in I didn't like the cartridge!
    So I suppose my question is: is it worth getting a paratrace tip as a backup?
    I have delt with the slow but lovely folks at ES co as they did a bunch of 78 tips for me and I know their work is of good quality and lasts a while, I'm more concerned about sound quality here.

    Just got my Akiva back from ESC after 3 weeks. Very happy with the service and price £310. Most importantly I'm very happy with the sound. Obviously I can't really compare with original before rebuild but my feet are tapping & I'm looking forward to playing lots of LPs. The owner seems like a real gent and great to deal with.
