I had the same issue with my Hovland Music Groove II phono cable. I think it is a Cardas right-angle DIN. I loosened the set screw on the side of the DIN connector and rotated it 90 degrees. It was no problem.
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?
