DIN Phono Cable

"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.

There are plenty of turntables where that right-angle DIN really isn't a concern. I will have my cables built with straight-on DIN connectors.

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

Cheers

I just purchased at TA with 5 pin DIN. The standard appears to be 5 pin Male at the TA, but you should ask just to be sure. The cables I looked at were all 5 pin females at the TA to RCA, so it worked fine. Much easier and direct than the connector that VPI uses on their Prime with some weird connector to a box to RCA. It works fine, just kinda weird IMHO.
