Tone arm plug in RCA cable?


I have a tone arm with a connector that plugs into the bottom of the arm to get the L/R channels from the stereo cart. 

There are currently going into a Sumiko Premire PIB 1 box on the side of the deck… The RCAs going to the phono stage are then combing off of that “break out” box.

So a handful of suggestions of phono lines to come off the table would be great to have.

Or do I just get some thin silver wire and twist up some, as they only need to be maybe 10” long (if even that long),

@cleeds  : for this kind of posts I use the word stupid and not as an insult:

 

" very contented and happy, 'not stupid' , Knife Edge Bearing Tonearm users during this period. "

 

Obviously that SME manufacturer  learned the necessity to change its tonearm bearing design. Everyone has the rigth to learn: manufacturers and audiophiles.

Ignorance/very low knowledge levels is not an excuse for stupidity.

Common sense.

@holmz  : Again you don't read carefully. The knife problem was already explained in your threads by mijostyn and Dr, S.Win. but if that is what you like fine because who have to be satisfied is you not me.

@holmz  : OK? really. 

Holmz when SME took in count its mistake with the knife bearing switched at once for the great SME V till today. Jelco was in the rigth " road " and now is in the knife bearing tonearm worst mistake. To each his own.

Dear @holmz  : " You and your friend sound smart. "

 

Well due that your analog knowledge level is so low for you " sound smart " but it's the other way around because no one audiophile with good knowledge level will choose SAEC tonearm with that " terrible " double knife bearing design, other than unipivots the worst tonearm bearing to mount any cartridge. I owned the 8000, 506 and 407 models that were the top in the SAEC line.

 

Obviously that you need to learn and as a fact you are learning but take care because not all what " shines " is  " gold " as those two gentlemans with SAEC tonearms. To each his own.

 

About zavfino items you are not stupid about but you really don't read carefully what people posted because zavfino not only appeared in this thread but in other of your threads. You need to stay in focus for you can really learn. Only an opinion.

@holmz  : " I have a tone arm with a connector that plugs into the bottom of the arm.."

 

Which tonearm and which kind of connector it has? for what you posted  the tonearm output connector is a DIN Pin5.

 

@imhififan ​​​​​@yogiboy  already gave the solution.

 

" Is there any meaningful sonic advantage in going direct from DIN to phono stage? "

 

Absolutely, you need to go directly to the phono stage with nothing in between the DIN PIN 5 output connector and the input at PS other that the IC cable that those two gentlemans already posted and gave you the link ! ? ? !!

@holmz : Please follow the @lewm and other gentleman advise. You don’t need the PIB..

 

" I need to try a different search engine. "

 

I think not, what you need is to follow trusty audiophiles that give you " solutions on hand " and stop to follow stupid posts.
