Aftermarket headshell leads


I've been considering this upgrade for my turntable. It's a Pioneer PLX-1000 with an Ortofon 2m black. I've been reading some of the aftermarket headahell leads don't come with an already tight fit and that you may have to crimp them onto the cartridge and headshell pins. I'm not sure how comfortable I am attempting that. Anyone have experience they can share? 

Thanks!

Not any different than carts mounted directly on tonearm. A tiny pair of pliers always does the job easily for me. To the advice of jasonborne, I ordered a PLX-1000, getting it Friday. Always wanted a direct drive TT, will hook it up to my Puffin as a secondary TT. I hope Jason knows more about TTs than cables 😉
