Tack or anything else to a headshell yet - the tongue *was* in the

My Linn K9 came with a blob of black gunge to go between headshell and
cartridge.
I hope it comes off as I've got a Shure to replace it with, when I get

Anyone know the nature of the substance?


Heatsink paste?

If you wanted only to replace the stylus on the K9 an AT95E stylus assembly
will fit - it won't look perfect but it will work perfectly well:
