I recently purchased a Mission tonearm at a local high-end store`s
yearly clearance. I comes without a cable and I am looking for a connector
to fabricate one. I was wondering if anyone out there knows what type of
connector I am looking for. The plug in the tonearm is recessed in the
base, its a male connector with five pins arranged in the following pattern:
X X
X X
X
At first I thought it might be a five pin DIN but it isn`t; the five
pin DIN I bought is arranged as follows:
X X
X X

The plug appears to have about a 3/8" barrel diameter.
[There are two styles of 5 pin DIN: 180 degree circle and 240 degree circle.

Also, I am considering several cartridges for the above tonearm and
would be interested in feedback on the Sumiko Blue Point vs a Shure
V15 or the AudioQuest Ruby....
thanks,
