Review on 🎶 Optimized Odyssey KCC4PR2BL Turntable Cartridge by David Naranjo

The first problem is that the "receiver" is too tight. The outer diameter of the shell body is 8mm, but the inner diameter of the bushing is too small - I measure 7.8mm with vernier calipers. The workaround is to take a large flathead screwdriver, insert it into the slot between the two sides, and then twist it to pry the two sides apart. This requires 2 hands and some skill. I need to do this for both insert and delete. The second problem is that the lid hinges cannot be opened far enough. When the case is on a flat surface and the lid is fully open, the slightest wobble can cause the lid to slam shut. The workaround is to add 2 "legs" to the front (at the bottom of the case) to make the box tilt backwards a bit. Why workarounds? I don't understand why these problems didn't appear during the testing phase.
