Are you sure? Perhaps you were pulling it forward instead of down. The

Nope, that's why I said IIRC! ;-)
I've never had a K5 so I can't be sure. I just thought that I read it
somewhere.

Ha... Looks like I was wrong. Just found this:

It seems that the ATN95E leaves a (harmless) gap between the stylus
housing and the cartridge body. It can be just left or filled with blu-
tack.

Wouldn't filling it with blu-tac completely change its mass and balance
and other significant properties?
