All, what experiences have you had of soundsmith retips, and have they improved the original cart?

Ive had two carts re-tipped. The Lyra came back better and my Koetsu came back just as good. Crazy long wait times but Peter puts lots of care into his work.

Skala and Blue Lace

Skala was a new boron cantilever with Nude contact. Koetsu with just a re-tip, Nude contact.

I have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum with the Soundsmith Ruby cantilever and optimized nude line contact tip - it is sublime! Next week I'll have a new Blue Lace Platinum and I might just send it in for the same tip given my experience with the RSP.
