You can get a custom made 5 pin DIN to XLR cable from Discovery Cable. They have specialized in phono cables, tonearms and the like for years.
Balanced XLR Turntable / Tonearm
Hi all. I'm moving to a fully balanced amplification system (phone preamp to preamp to amp -- all Sierra). I have an inexpensive turntable today -- the AR Turntable (1984) with a Linn Basik Plus arm and an Adcom Hexacoil moving coil cartridge. The Linn Basik has a 5 pin DIN type connector with a separate ground and I had planned to "cut and paste" an XLR cable to it to connect to the phono preamp. However, my analog system is not that great and my other alternative is to go to a different table/tonearm setup. Are there any that you would recommend and are not too expensive (e.g., under $4k) that already have balanced outputs? Of course, I could always "cut and paste" other setups but it would be easier if the tonearm wires were not connected to ground, so that could work too. Thanks.
