Anyone using Graham IC-70 w/ SME V?


Just bought a Graham IC-70 phono cable w/ angled DIN here on Agon to be used with my SME V. I could not get it to work.

The connectors are directional, kind of like tubes, where there are several pins forming a circle, and one pin is "missing". So you need to rotate the heads until it just fits. When I tried this, the cable ended up pointing upwards (towards the bottom of the armboard), so it's not going to work.

Have others used this combo? Should I be looking for the non-angled-head version of this cable instead?

I did open up the head to check it out and rotated it 180 degrees. But then I was not able to get the set screw back into the head. The only way I could use it would be to not put the set screw back in. But if I don't use the set screw, I am afraid that if I pull the head out, I might accidentally break the cable.

I had contacted Bob yesterday, and he told me to send it back to him to make the adjustment. I think I will do that.
