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 best way to mount a cartridge is to affix the wires on to the cartridge pins by hand before installing it in the tonearm.  Using this method you can gently slide on the pins and not tare them with a slip of the pliars
The best way to wire a cartridge is to mount the cartridge to the arm  with the screws first.  Then using your fingers (not long nose pliers) the clips and be easily pushed on (but don't push them on all the way). Doing it this way, the tool won't slip and tear off the clips.
