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.

Hi Dreadhead, I believe most folks around here will tell you to insert a toothpick into the open end of the clip and squeeze gently with a pair or needle-nose pliers. This has always worked for me, being careful to go slowly and gently. But the few slips I've had indicate that these little buggers are a bit more robust than they look.

I don't ever recall Elizabeth and me agreeing about anything, so you can probably take this one to the bank, Dreadhead! :-)
