VAS has been making and repairing phono cartridges for over 10 years and has experience in almost every type of problem that can occur with a cartridge. From stylus retipping to complete rebuilding of the cartridge, VAS will surgically repair your item in a quick and efficient time frame. Whether it’s a moving coil, a moving magnet, or a moving iron cartridge, VAS will be able to restore your phono cartridge to mint condition. We specialize in repairing Sumiko, Benz Micro, Lyra, Koetsu, and Dynavector cartridges but can fix cartridges from many other brands. 

Additionally, we can perform custom modifications including switching styli, upgrading to mono use, cartridge cleaning, and coil demagnetizing. Cartridge inspection is FREE. All we ask is $45 to cover for any shipping charges if you do not want a repair. We will carefully inspect each cartridge that comes in and recommend the best option to you. Once the inspection is complete, we will call or email you about the details of repair and cost. The usual timeframe is between 4 to 8 weeks but it may be longer or shorter depending on the amount damage to the cartridge and queue of other cartridges waiting. 

We also do rewiring for tonearms and repairs for broken cables, connectors & wires. Many of the old arms and wires have corroded or worn out and thus don’t make good contact. It is a good idea to refurbish these old tonearms and cables. 

If you are interested in repairing or upgrading your cartridge, tonearm or cables, please call at 732-888-3288 or email at vasaudio@comcast.net
