The Advantage of
Re-Tipping
The Re-Tipping service will be fully operated by the founder of Skyanalog, Jack Leung. This process is extremely difficult as it requires precisely removing the residue on the stylus mounting surface. Jack himself developed a precise customized tool for this purpose. With his skillful techniques, he is one of the few who can accomplish the state-of-the-art re-tipping.

Re-Tipping Showcases
Stylus Fall Off Again Quite Quickly...
Benz Micro Wood SL
This Wood SL was carefully taken care of by the owner. According to whom, the stylus was re-tipped very recently by another service provider. In addition, a wrong anti-skating setting caused the cantilever to slightly drifted right…
Jack removed all residue white adhesive with the customized tool. The new Micro-Ridge stylus was applied firmly with the Skyanalog Original Black adhesive at a minimum required amount.
* Please note that excessive adhesives will lead to increased moving mass which essentially downgrades the sound performance.
Stylus Worn Out
Benz Micro Ruby Z
Ruby Z was equipped with a Micro-Ridge stylus originally, which should have a 2000hr+ lifetime. Now that the stylus is completely worn out, but still, no other signs of damage or abuse. Excellent!
A Micro-Ridge stylus with the same spec was requested by the client. Once the magnificent MR stylus was installed by Jack, the warmth and imaging of the Ruby Z came back right away.
What if cantilever was snapped off?

Cantilever Snapped Off
Ortofon Quintet Black
This Ortofon Quintet Black was used in an excellent environment. However, the housekeeper of its owner snapped off the cantilever(stylus is gone, consequently) during cleaning his audio room…
Jack removed the residue cantilever within the aluminum tube with a specialized blade and installed the Skyanalog sapphire cantilever with an Elliptical stylus. It is always worth noting that Skyanalog Original BLACK adhesive was employed with the exact amount!
Diamond Cantilever Missing
Ortofon MC Diamond
The precious DIAMOND cantilever went missing. And reason is unknown… but we can see that the suspension is undamaged. Jack employed the Skyanalog DIAMOND cantilever and a r/R=3/80um Micro-Ridge Stylus on it. The restoration process was quite smooth and the subjective test afterwards was pleasant. The diamond cantilever does performs magic in music!
Boron Cantilever Crashed
Van Den Hul Crimson
The original boron cantilever crashed on the turntable heavily… The rest went sideways and missing… In this case, the correct way is to remove all residues instead of “applying a larger pipe” like most others do. Seeing that the original aluminum pipe was preserved, that is, preserving the damper and suspension as they were out from the factory… A brand-new solid boron cantilever is applied, not to mention the beautifully installed Micro-Ridge Stylus.
