Phono Cable from Mutech Hayabusa SME IV.VI DIN to Sutherland Little Loco MK2

[Chauncey79]

Looking for recommendations for a phono/tonearm cable. I'm running a transimpedance setup from a Mutech Hayabusa on an SME IV.VI tonearm DIN connection out to a Sutherland Little Loco MK2.

Is it best to get a single cable with DIN on one side and RCA on the other? Or get a DIN to RCA box and then pick an RCA to RCA cable.

Thank you!

If my tonearm had a DIN out I would use a DIN-RCA cable. Best to have as few connections as possible/reasonable IMO.

If you are looking for brand recommendations, Snake River Audio get's my vote, they make a DIN-RCA cable.

I love my Little Loco MK2!

I have the Mutech Hayabusa and Sutherland Little Loco MK2. I use a Luna Orange DIN to RCA from the Jelco (George Merrill Signature Polytable) and Sorane (Merrill/Willians R.EA.L.101.3) arms to the Sutherland. A pair of Luna Rogue RCA’s connect the Sutherland to the Gato. I would not use a DIN-RCA box. Less connections.

You could also try artisan silver cables. Alister is very helpful and their nth degree cables are excellent and could be considered seriously underpriced compared to many companies offerings.

I've heard Sumiko pushed SME into using Magnan branded wiring for their internal tonearm wire at one point with a high 30 ohm resistance. Have others had the internal wiring replaced? I assume this wire is pretty important. If I get this re-wired is it best to get the wiring a single run without any DIN connection and go straight from the cartridge to RCAs for my phono.
