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.

The most cartridge clips are worthless. This is in particular very

annoying by not removable headshells. The best clips are made

by Clearaudio. By possible rewire one need to asses the state

of original wire. if those are not corroded (copper) then no rewire

is needed. The wire myth is not only present by speaker wire but

also by tonearms wire.

@bimasta, We all make ''inductive generalisations'' based on

our (limited) experience. Those are not logically valid statements.

My ''generalisation'' about Clearaudio clips are made in this

way. Alas those are pretty expensive  So I am very curious about

your discovery of  ''P-clips''. The ratio of our forum consist in

such discoveries and sharing such information with other members.

Whatever one thinks about (different) wire is different question.

I own many carts and many headshells so those damn clips

are my primary worry. I hope someone can provide a picture of

those ''P-clips'' so we will have some idea about their looks.
