The most dangerous part is getting the wires attached. I get the wires on first and then mount it in the tonearm. Always push the cartridge on to the wire. If you push the wire on to the cartridge, your hand just might slip and you will tear the wire from the arm. just hold the wire steady with your right hand and push the cartridge with the left.
Cartridge mounting
Can any of you seasoned pro's give me some tips/pointers on cartridge mounting? Music Hall is sending me a new cart to replace the stock one on my MMF-7.1. Hopefully this will fix the channel inbalance problem I've been having. They are sending the low output version of the Eroica. I've mounted many a cart in the past, but they were on removable headshells, which makes the job a bit easier. Also, they had replacable styli, so you could remove it while mounting. With a fixed headshell/stylus do you do the wires first, or loosely mount the cart first? Don't want to &*$% anything up.....
Any tips would greatly be appreciated.
