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!

Assuming you have 180deg 5-pin DIN connectors, the pin layout for an all DIN cables should be as follows: Female Pin1 to Male Pin3; Female Pin4 to Male Pin5; Female Pin2 to Male Pin2; Female Pin5 to Male Pin4; Female Pin3 to Male Pin1. Pin2 (always the center contact) is ground on both input and output connectors, Pin1 and Pin3 (these pins are always the outer pins) will be for the right channel input or output and Pin4 and Pin5 will be for the left channel input or output, depending on which connector end you are looking at. Good luck, regards, Richard.
