Tonearm rewiring


Hi folks,
Learned the hard way yesterday that you must be very - very - careful with the leads heading into your cartridge. As I was trying to unhook a Goldring Elite, I stripped one of the wires out of the clips.
Not good, but I was thinking before that of getting my tonearm rewired. I have a Music Hall MMF 7.3 with a Pro-Ject 9cc tonearm.
This development accelerates my timing.
Who's good out there? Who would you recommend for rewiring? I did a search and some results are older, so I'm looking for some current information.
Appreciate your advice, as I drown my sorrows in a good drink.

I did the same thing to my Pro-Ject Xtension 10. I had to then buy a good HOT soldering iron, I also used pure silver solder and placed just a dab on the clip, then using the iron you melt the insulation on wire back enough to expose a little bare wire, heat clip with iron place bare wire on clip when hot, let cool a few seconds, Good! Now finish with a piece of plastic electrical tape folded over clip and bare wire, using iron gently, briefly, touch the sides of tape to shrink wrap the connection. YEAH! its Micro surgery. I have moved on to a different table because of these awfully difficult wires and clips because I do like to change cartridges.
