Tone arm plug in RCA cable?

@holmz  : " I have a tone arm with a connector that plugs into the bottom of the arm.."

Which tonearm and which kind of connector it has? for what you posted  the tonearm output connector is a DIN Pin5.

@imhififan ​​​​​@yogiboy  already gave the solution.

" Is there any meaningful sonic advantage in going direct from DIN to phono stage? "

Absolutely, you need to go directly to the phono stage with nothing in between the DIN PIN 5 output connector and the input at PS other that the IC cable that those two gentlemans already posted and gave you the link ! ? ? !!

@lewm makes no sense to follow stupid posts but is up to you.

@holmz : Please follow the @lewm and other gentleman advise. You don’t need the PIB..

I think not, what you need is to follow trusty audiophiles that give you " solutions on hand " and stop to follow stupid posts.

I can only work with what I have, so if it looks stupid I can only offer and apology as that is as good as it gets. But as I asking,  it appears that I am open to receiving trustworthy advice.

The PIB is as @imhififan posted.

I’ll try an older DIN to RCA I have laying around, and see how it sounds, and then go from there.

Is there any meaningful sonic advantage in going direct from DIN to phono stage?
(I think in the past it was mostly a PITA to get the cable into the phonostage without jostling the TT.)

Theoretically, less break in the signal chain is better and I understand why SOTA turntable user preferred a interface box.

IMO, a cable clamp can serve the same purpose as a PIB if using DIN to RCA cable.

Yeah @imhififan My serial number is lot lower, and the PIB is just around the corner (clockwise when looking down.)… other than that, it looks about the same.
