DIN Phono Cable


I'm planning to get one of the new Project tonearms, and they only accept 5-pin DIN connector. Is there a specific DIN connector I need to look for or are they all the same?

Recommend you make sure what sort of 5-pin alignment method is used for the Project arm.

I believe most 5-pin DINs have an alignment pin to facilitate mating orientation.  (My Moerch arm on one table does...).  However, my Origin Live Enterprise MK5 arm uses a larger recess for alignment (not a pin groove) and the Origin Live Silver Hybrid 2 DIN-RCA cable that was included has the mating extrusion ("bumpout").  When I replaced the OL cable with my Luminous Audio Technology Silver Reference, I went ahead and filed down its mating pin to allow insertion, as the Origin Live connection has no pin groove.  May just be an OL thing...
