Changing a Phono Cartridge: Connecting Wires to Head

Video Transcript

"Alright, the first step to connecting your cartridge to your head is the wires. Now, attaching from the cartridge to the head there are four different wires, and they're different colors. They tend to be always the same colors. You got green, red, white, and blue. On both the head and the cartridge, there are color coded. So you know where to put each wire. It is a little difficult a lot of the time to actually put the wires on. I haven't pulled them off because of this so bothersome. I pulled this one off, and it's difficult to get it on sometimes. I've got it in a decent spot. A lot of the times you might want to use tweezers, or you might want to use just your thumb just to push it on, and you really want to make sure that it's pushed on all the way. I have no nails so I might need to run and grab some tweezers to even get it on myself. But very important to make sure that all of them are the correct colors and they're all pushed on fully."
