5-Pin DIN connector on Thorens Turntable


I just purchased a Thorens TD 140C turntable over E-bay and
it came with a 5-pin DIN connector instead of a left and right RCA interconnect. Is this a big deal to change? Any
one had experience with this? Thanks!

this is an easy one. all you need is a "pib." sumiko used to havem' available. it comprises a female din connector on a short braided cable that is attached to a little junction box into which you plug the male ends of rca connectors. it also has a terminal for your tt ground wire. if you can't find one readily, send me a private email and i can give you more assistance. -kelly
one other option i didn't mention, which is what i have on my analogue setup. you can build a DIY box that'll take your tonearm leads into a junction box with xlr connectors "out." this is useful only if you have a phono with "true" balanced design (and like components downstream). again, let me know via private email if you want additional info on this alternative. -kelly
