Help Needed: Limited cartridge choices for Linn Ekos arm?

[heavenknows]

Hi, Everyone. I've just step up my second LP12 with a EkosII arm. Not have enough budget to purchase a cartridge at this time, I tried to fit my Denon 103R onto the Ekos.

It proved to be quite impossible. The cartridge leads were getting in the way!! The headshell seems too short for the Denon 103R's body.

Now I'm wondering if there are only specific cartridges that can go with the Ekos?

Any advise, please?

You can get a lot of tight-fitting cartridges to work with the Ekos by bending the cartridge leads out so they don't foul the arm pins. It is tight, though!
