An SME Headshell and/or a DIN connection is a huge compromise. But you would need to tell me how long the cable needs to be - in case mine is not long enough. Our philosophy in Phono Cable design is to have the lowest number of connections from the headshell clips to the RCA output, which means the best phono cable is a direct run of wire from clips to output. then I could fit this plug to a cable that I had made up for my LP12 (so the arm end is light). Please note: the AQUILAR can drop-in replace TriPlanar, DaVinci, Jelco, SME IV, SME V, SME 309 or Graham Supreme/Elite without any alternation to users pre-drilled arm board. Arms above 25 grams of mass are high mass in nature (Eminent Technology, Dynavector). SME 309, IV, IV-Vi, V, Triplanar, Graham). A tonearm whose effective mass is rated between 11 and 25 grams is considered moderate mass (e.g. If you can supply the plug and the instructions (from SME) as to which pin belongs to which cart wire. A tonearm whose effective mass is rated at 10 grams or below is considered low mass (e.g. If you don't have a cable for your SME3009, surely SME sells them? But if you do have this cable - and think the SME-supplied cable is too heavy for your Thorens - then one option is to buy a Linn / Thorens arm cable and get a tech to replace the DIN plug with your SME plug.Īlternatively, I might be able to help you. Overall length: 29mm Pins protrude beyond the 29mm by 6.8mm Cable entry diame. the connector is not a standard arm DIN plug but instead is a weird " 4-wires-in-a-row " SME-only plug (which has 2x thick pins and 2x thin pins, to force correct orientation).

This is unused because he already had a model 5 tonearm and has installed this on his new Model 12a deck instead.

Looking for a suitable RCA cables for my suspended Thorens TD160 Super and SME 3009 series III arm, where the interconnect won't interfere with the "bounce" of the table. I’m selling a brand new SME 309 black edition with Crystal Connect tonearm cable on behalf of a friend.
