VPI connections.


Has anyone hooked up the 10.5 arm with xlr connectors using anything other than the VPI connections?
I am talking about the connector block on the tonearm. I guess I am asking if anyone knows of another tonearm manufacturer that uses the lemo connector.
Thank you

I imagine it is silent. That is why I want the XLR junction box. I can't get VPI to send me one so I thought I would see if anyone has used another lemo type junction box from another manufacturer.
I can understand why VPI won't "send" you one but I bet they will "sell" you one.
I don't understand what you want. Do you want to connect the turntable to the preamp, but don't have XLR on the preamp? Why would you want a Lemo connector...they are all the same. Whether the output of the junction box is RCA or XLR is the only difference.
I have been waiting since august for a junction box. I've called and e-mailed. I would like to use my turntable before christmas, so I thought I would ask if anyone knew of a company that used the lemo connector besides VPI. Or, if I could get a lemo connector, i would solder one myself.
thanks for the responses.
I want to say that VPI has been very helpful on other occasions. Everyone has hiccups in their business...god knows I do with mine. I just want to get going on these connections. I've sold my RCA cables and need to break in new XLR cables and all this is taking a lot out of my listening time. That is why I made the inquiry about the lemo.
Thanks
