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?

Yes, possibly for the better if the arm/cart setup was properly adjusted
but just don't bother - you get a little gap, you forget it 20 minutes
later!

Better yet - bin the K5 and grab a new AT110E for notta lotta money....
