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.

Dear @arcamguy: Obviously that you have a very good opportunity to improve the quality performance levels in your tonearm. Rewiring always makes a difference for the better. Here it's a good rewiring source:

I can't post photos here. I need them to answer Nandric's question.

Can anyone explain how to do it?

Do you know how to solder? I rewired my Music hall 7.1 tonearm (project 9c) I used Cardas wiring and cardas clips. Really wasn't too difficult. I would do it again if I needed to. Just take it slow.

@jbny unfortunately I don't know how to solder.

@rauliruegas my plan is to send the 7.3 to Audio Element in Pasadena; they'll be rewiring my TT, and upgrading my cartridge.

Everybody, thanks for your input; appreciate it.

@arcamguy, excellent! Brian Berdan at Audio Elements is not only a great technician, he's a great guy. I've known him since he was a little kid, he watching his Dad Brooks Berdan (who rewired my Rega 300) setting up tables, arms, and cartridges. One of the very best!
