Cartridge makers had way too much freedom in designing their cartridge bodies. Some mount with short screws, some with medium-size screws and some with long screws. The easy oversimplified solution to your problem is to find screws which are long enough. First find out how long a screw you need. Measure the height of the area of the cartridge through which the mounting screw will pass. Then add a little extra length for the area of the headshell the screw must pass through plus length for a washer and nut. Once you know the length you need you can either take your screw to a local hardware store and shop for or ask for the size screw (could be either english standard or metric) you are searching for. Or if you know the size of your screw in either english standard or metric terms you can try a web search for your specific size or try for the assortments of screws which some vendors offer. If you can't find an exact length, opt for a longer screw in the width you need because you can shorten the longer screw. If you need to shorten one remember to install a nut on it first and run it all the way up against the head before either cutting to length with a hack saw or grinding it to length. Removing the pre-installed nut after shortening will most always clean up the screw threads at the shortened end of the screw and make the re-installation of the nut when you mount the cartridge on the headshell easier. It sounds like a hassle, I know, but most of us cartridge swappers go through this at one time or another.

Not sure this will help, but I put mine in upside down (nuts on top). Not as clean looking, but it was easier to install and no problem with the length of the screws. I think the screw heads are too large to fit in the grooves in the headshell. Inserting the screws from the bottom worked for me as the nuts were small enough to fit in the grooves.

I just held them in place and screwed the screws on top with my hand. I'm sorry for being so inarticulate. I hope you figured it out. I'm a bit disappointed by the product.

The best thing to do is to buy another headshell and install a dedicated widegroove 78 rpm cartridge. I use the Shure M78S. It comes jumpered for mono, but this was not compatable with my AT 120's, so I took the jumper off. Stick with original stylii as I haven't found an aftermarket one that works.

Mukund - Good question for Shure Engineering.. Call 847-600-2000, as for Technical Support. One you find out, we can obtain the model that you need. Thanks, Hugh 318-614-0422

These turntables have terrible counterweights. If after adjusting the counterweight you still have the skip problem ....you can try putting a hose clamp on it. Someone else online did this and it worked fine.

Don't remember being I am an audio/video installer I have several screws on hand so I had the correct size. Just get shorter ones of the same size the bracket came with otherwise get a mixed box from Home Depot and u should be good. Good luck.

The CN5625AL cartridge in this picture is the style that mounts with two screws. Assuming the cartridge that you are replacing mounts the same way. The back of the your old cartridge has 4 male pins coming out of the back of the cartridge. Connected to the 4 pins are 4 tone arm wires that have round female pins soldered at the end of each wire. You will need a pair of needle nose pliers or tweezers. Using the tip of the needle nose pliers, carefully unplug each tone arm wire pin, one at a time. Be sure to pull it from the pin, not from the wire. After all 4 tone arm wire pins are unplugged from the back of your old cartridge, loosen and remove the 2 screws and nuts that were holding your old cartridge on to your headshell. Take the new cartridge and instructions from the CN5625AL package. The instructions will tell you how to remount and rewire the new cartridge. Please note, there are some turntables that use a similar Audio Technica cartridge, that are glued directly into the tone arm, and are not removable. If this is what you have, you can only replace the stylus, not the whole cartridge. Regards, Premium Parts+

The cable is about the normal length for a turntable,which is usually a bit short of 3 feet.The reason is that longer = higher cable capacitance,which changes the load the cartridge "sees".Longer cables can also cause more hum than short ones. I routinely use up to 8 feet or so without significanteffects, so I believe that there is little reason tobe concerned about extending the length if needed.

Sorry Bruce, I don't have a turntable but I can tell you they are connected to my computer and are great! And if the connection which is the smaller plug works on your turntable it should work....

The stands allow for four screws to be secured on the bottom in the corners. Not sure how that lines up to your speaker dimensions. There's also the option Joe listed already as well

Ok Jeff the shure m44-7 needle will work I just wouldn't use it on that type of turntable. That needle is meant for heavy-duty scratching and anti skip! Its very heavy, I would use something more like Audio Technica or ion replacement needles for that type of table. I hope this helps!?

I had to return it because none of my audio components would fit (center speaker, receiver) sorry I can't be of any help.

send the headphones back with the bill, ahd get a replacement pair. trying to get a knob is a lost cause, because the way the headphones are made by the mfg.
