This is my first post, although I have been using the site since a long time. A big thank you first to the people that spent their time to put the information down on this site, in order to make it available to people from all around the world....

Was looking for a Turntable and the valuable technical comments of this website were very very useful indeed.

Finally I got 2 turntables. One is RX2 which came with RCA connectors, and the 2nd which I have received yesterday is a 5500. This 2nd one has a 7-pin male DIN connector, which I need to connect to my LUXMAN amplifier.which has only RCA connectors.

Any idea from where I could get this cable ? Is there a pin layout for this cable, as I could do it myself ?

The amplifier has both MM & MC settings. Would any of these be enough, or do I need a preamp as well ?

Thanks

You actually need a 5 pin DIN to 2 RCA and earth connector.You can unscrew pins 6 & 7 on the DIN plug - a good tip from Chris is to tape these pins to the DIN lead so you don't lose them! Have a look here for the correct cable. You need to use the MM setting on the amplifier.

Thanks Peter.

Will try this....

Hello,

Yes I can confirm that Steve at www.soundsheavenly.co.uk is a nice and helpful guy. Prices are realistic too.
