Aftermarket headshell leads

I've been considering this upgrade for my turntable. It's a Pioneer PLX-1000 with an Ortofon 2m black. I've been reading some of the aftermarket headahell leads don't come with an already tight fit and that you may have to crimp them onto the cartridge and headshell pins. I'm not sure how comfortable I am attempting that. Anyone have experience they can share? 

Thanks!

I tried it and it didn't work for me at all. However, they have a trial policy and returning it was painless and friendly.

Ortofon do a PC Triple C Head Shell Tag Wire.

I am an advocate of PC Triple C Wire used in the analogue signal path.

I like the Korf Site, much of what is done on there is quite similar to areas of interest I have in the world beyond what Korf does as a R&D.

One thing that still remained when last visited, is that a Magnesium Headshell still remains to be tested item.

I am for a long time wondering why, and have come to a view on this matter, that it is a tested material, but not with a published result, as it might have shown to be a very good choice in relation to the preferred material the site is an advocate of.

But as always 'Maybe Not'.

Most of my headshells are Mg. Best amalgamation of clarity, openness, transparency, detail and speed. Bass could be better
