#1 Tonearm Leads

Post by Darren »

Hi,

A chap has contacted me concerning a tonearm he has just bought. He needs a lead for it. I don't have one spare so could do with finding him one.

If anyone has a spare one I'll pass on the info, or, does anyone have any ideas where to get one from?

Here's his message

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This LMF-2 ADC arm arrived from Greece yesterday. The guy who sold it to me
has cornered the market in some remaindered OEM stock, unbranded, and has
several hundred of them. While the arm is without doubt new and un used, it
comes without the arm leads !

Also, the arm pillar nut binds and doesn't do up properly

Looks like a 5 pin DIN plug arangement in the base of the arm, or very
similar to DIN. I need a set of low capacitance low impedence arm leads
properly terminated, with the matchng connector plug ( socket, actually) for
the arm pillar. Who does it, any ideas?

Two possibilities immediately spring to mind

What about j7 at Audio Origami, or browse Farnell for the bits and make one up?

cheers,

This just popped up in the other place and could well be the thing. A lot of arms used this connector.

Shane's suggestion is good but expensive. I went this route.
