Cardas Din plug compatible with Graham Phantom II?

Nsgarch -
Yes you are correct about that set screw and the ability to rotate the inner white plug - however, it is very easy when doing so to break one or more of the fine wires inside if not careful........it's a delicate operation.

Not a problem with the straight din plug but could be with a 90 degree din plug depending on the space underneath the armboard/plinth.

Not to put too fine a point on this scholarly discussion ;-) but the rt. angle plugs I've seen (not all by any means) have a set screw that allows the little receptacle plate to be rotated 180 in the plug body. You'll notice they don't make L and R oriented 90 degree plugs; that's when I figured out what the set screw was for!

Jfrech is indeed correct regarding the din pin orientation. The Graham and SME are 180 degrees different. Not a problem with the straight din plug but could be with a 90 degree din plug depending on the space underneath the armboard/plinth.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious to me.

I think i read it somewhere here that the SME din pin configuration is reverse but not the custom Graham.

I might add here is I think that Graham and SME flip the din pin configuration 180 degrees. So you may have to "spin by 180" the din plug the orientate it correctly...

All tonearm "DIN" plugs are interchangable (because only one kind was ever made to fit tonearms ;-) AND JCarr also taught us that it's not even a DIN plug! It is/was something designed in Japan (not in Germany) and now I can't remember what tonearm it was originally for, or how it (mistakenly) came to be called a DIN. If you're interested, those answers ARE buried in these forums somewhere ;-)
