Tone arm plug in RCA cable?

I have a tone arm with a connector that plugs into the bottom of the arm to get the L/R channels from the stereo cart. 

There are currently going into a Sumiko Premire PIB 1 box on the side of the deck… The RCAs going to the phono stage are then combing off of that “break out” box.

So a handful of suggestions of phono lines to come off the table would be great to have.

Or do I just get some thin silver wire and twist up some, as they only need to be maybe 10” long (if even that long),

@pindac my lucidity issue is more with what to search for, or product name examples. Maybe I need to try a different search engine.

Get a DIN to RCA and forget about the Sumiko box!

SAEC and Audio Technica both use the Wire Types referred to.

Hi Holmz, I am pretty sure the box only serves as an adaptor, in which case you would be best served by buying a tonearm cable possessing absolutely massive detectable lucidity. At a budget price Mogami, further up Audio Technica, Chord, Cardas, Kimber

What they’re trying to tell you is you don’t need the bleeding box at all. The 5-pin plug that you shove into the base of your tonearm is called a DIN plug. You can buy a single pair of cables with a DIN plug at one end, terminating both channels. Each of the two cables emanating from the DIN will terminate at their other ends in RCAs which you plug into your phono stage directly.
