Do you know what type of cable it is? Have you checked to see if the previous owner simply covered the DIN connector with a bolb of silicone? This seems like a pretty weird and involved modifification to make. I'vr owned an Akito and now own ann Ekos. Changing the wiring inside the tonearm never crossed my mind..though upgrading the phono cable is worth doing
Rewire Linn Akito?
When I was just getting into vinyl and bought my VPI HW-19 MK3 it came with a Linn Akito arm and OC-9 cartrige. I didn't pay much attention to the tonearm cable because it was attached. I have since learned that tonearm was supposed to have a DIN connection. The previous owner must have "customized" it. The cable exits the bottom of the tonearm through a blob of silicone. He must have made some internal connections to the existing tonearm cable. Now I would like to rewire it either to a DIN connector or simply outboard to an rca connector block similar to on the Aries or TNT. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Eric
