Dynavector Cartridge Cabling

 As frustrating as that is, you can at least 'correct' the problem when connecting the TT to your phono pre or other equipment. 

 The same type of thing gets to me about RCA connections either being way too loose or too tight. No standard there either it seems.

@jorgjean 

There is the SME pin configuration standard on the tonearm bayonet fitting - in other words the tonearm end of the cartridge leads.

I cant recall any tonearms other than the EMT ( uses a diamond pin layout )that are not to SME pin layout.

Are there any standards on the headshell side? Just to make sure that the right and left channels are always on the same PINS? Otherwise you will have to find with each cartridge separately how to wire to the tonearm / headshell.

not sure wether everybody does that?

thanks for enlightening me.

Neither is wrong - there are no standards.

If you look at an Ortofon 2M for example, the pins are different again from all of your cartridges +ve pins on one side, -ve pins on the other.

Denon 103 different again from any of the above mentioned.
