    Ortofon MC Cartridge Re Tip

    Can anyone recommend where I should send my Ortofon X5-MC to be Re Tipped? It sounds lifeless and I'm getting noise (crackle and hiss) instead of black space. It originally was amazingly dynamic and vinyl sounded better than CDs. Now it's the other way round.

    why waste your money?

    it will cost more than a new cart. go for a new one or a clearaudio aurum beta.
