Tonearm DIN question

I have a vintage Pioneer PL41 that has a large DIN connector on the bottom. Is there a DIN reducer so I can use say an Audioquest ( that I have ) interconnect which has a smaller DIN. Or is there a good way to adapt the smaller DIN to this arm?

Hi Nsgarch,

I was visualizing a 'table which had flying leads leaving the tonearm which were then terminated into this DIN connector.

If indeed the real(?) DIN connector mates into the tonearm, then yes, it makes a whole lot more sense to terminate the tonearm cable to match makes it - assuming the availability of the connector of course.

Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier

Wow James - I was all ready to be shocked that someone actually made such an adaptor, but the item you mention has a "real" mini-DIN (same as a keyboard, mouse or S-video connector ;-) Unfortunately, it's not the same as the "mini-DIN" on a tonearm cable.
