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),

" Your use of this device is not stupid.." certainly not. You are.

Well I appreciate the responses none the less.
And the specific examples (like the Zavfino.)

Thanks guys.

Let stirring up the pot😁

Another option

Tonearm Cable (TAC) Adaptor

 

Option 2

Rewire the tonearm and extend the wire to a junction box ( PIB ), so OP can try different ICs.

Option 3

Rewire the tonearm with RCA cable.

Looks like a certain forum contributor is 'wed' to referring to other members as being 'stupid' hopefully this short lived and is only a passing trend/fad.

I think this is possible, as the certain forum member, did refrain from informing the OP in this thread, to Dump their equipment and spend thousands $$$$$ on the barrage of purchase links subsequently supplied.  This usual 'wed' to attitude appears to have been a fad, I hope as they have discovered the approach is not abe to be taken serious and is laughable, or is this different approach only limited to this thread?    

It is not really considerate to the OP, or contributors who have offered support,  that the raised Thread is contaminated with unhelpful moments, that are of a content that is attacking the contributions offered,  especially attacks of the type that are bullying and intended to discourage further input.

@imhififan a good selection of photo suggestions to help the OP see further considerations. 

I am with you on option 3, the OP is hopefully still enjoying the assessment of what can be achieved with the options outlined.

@imhififan thanks for those examples. In the last “option 3” example:

  1. Does one use a specific type of wire? (Like a specific thin silver?)
  2. Which company peddles the DIN plugs ?

@pindac it appears like might be in the same boat, if one those IQ denigrations were aimed your way. (But I feel more like Gillian, rather than Thurston Howell III, or the Professor.)

More to discover
