I'm planning to get one of the new Project tonearms, and they only accept 5-pin DIN connector. Is there a specific DIN connector I need to look for or are they all the same?
"The cable will come straight down from the tonearm connection." But where does the cable have to go next? Presumably the TT sits on a shelf, so the cable will have to bend at a 90 degree angle in order not to foul the surface of the shelf on its way to the phono inputs. That is what Maxson is trying to explain, I think. Sometimes a right-angled DIN plug is needed to make that 90 degree turn.
Yes, of course, I was merely trying to explain to Jose what Maxson was getting at. Of course there may be no need for a right angle DIN with Jose's TT, just as it isn't with yours. The point was that Jose' did not get the point.
Thanks….I understand. I mentioned earlier in thread I did not think I needed a 90 degree DIN. Since the connection points straight down and the plinth is like 2” thick.
TT does sit on a platform so as it comes out yes it will need to bend but nothing extreme. Looks like most DIN have 2-3” of flexible section before it gets thicker.
Should be all good…..So yea just have to pick one now. Tonearm takes 2 months to ship from Project, none in ‘Merica.
I have some time
