Tonearm clips too big, suggestions?


The clips that connect the tonearm to the cartridge are too big. I don't want to squeeze them, I'm afraid I'll crush them. Is there another way? A contact fluid? It's a Lyra Helikon cart. and a Linn Akito tonearm.

Hesson11 nailed it... or rather, toothpicked it.

I use a ROUND, WOOD toothpick. Round is the shape you want. Unlike plastic, wood compresses a little under pressure - which gives you fine control of just how much reshaping you apply to the clip.
