Balanced connections to my VPI turntable?

Ok interesting set of repairs, terrible workmanship from manufacturer.

That’s a rush to judgement, it is a terrific Tonearm, very glad I bought it (and the square trade warranty)

This version incorporates an above plinth DIN connector, I could not/cannot use it with my Ortofon Phono Cable.

The original design was a ’purist’ design, with tiny litz wires soldered inside this Junction Box

Perhaps had I been more observant, I would have positioned the litz wires at the tonearm base differently, thus wear of silk insulation would not have occurred.

Here was the original LITZ wire fun. I never saw anything so delicate. Many would prefer Litz wire to what Steve used.

You can see the VPI mini-din Junction Box in two of the photos. I had Steve paint the box to get rid of the VPI Logo.

@badbruno Did you ever get a solution for your VPI Junction Box? Was Steve at VAS able to make you a DIN out junction box?
