I just got a Karma (cartridge) because it was priced right, and because I'm curious about MC carts.
In deinstalling my Grado Sonata, I checked out the fit of the ARO's connectors with the Karma's pins. Imagine my shock and surprise when I discovered that the pins are way narrower than the connectors.
I'd hate to squeeze the connectors down and then need to reinstall the Grado, or any other cart with big pins.
What do people do about this?

You're gonna have to squeeze them. There is no way around it. If you need to nstall something with bigger pins thereafter, you have to pry the connectors apart a bit.
Do it all very, very gently and in very small steps until you get the fit you want.

Thanks, Vuk. I figured I get a response from you or Petrik. I've gotten sound out the Karma, and I'm really torn - I like it a lot, even with a loose jury- or jerry- rigged system, but I hesitate to do the deed. I would hate to have to solder on new clips because I haven't been gentle enough.
