Here you go:I’m looking for a mechanic to come out to my home to replace my tires.
Hi,I had been planning to sell my Roksan Xerxes 10 in order to try some alternative higher-end turntables but, as it seems that there is no market interest, I am considering refitting a cartridge and relearning its capabilities.
An MC cartridge in the £500-£1000 range seems appropriate but am concerned that my ham-fistedness could destroy an expensive and delicate component in an instant. So I tried phoning around a few dealers in London to see if any would be prepared to provide an at-home fitting service, thus getting a safe solution without having to cart a turntable around London which in itself is risky and difficult due to traffic and parking restrictions. None of them were interested and one was almost abrupt in saying no.
Is it unreasonable (COVID issues aside) to ask for such a service? Obviously I would be prepared to pay for time and travel and it would be a key purchase decision criteria for something which has a significant mark-up.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a business which know and understand cartridges and which might come to my aid.
