7 pin DIN connectors in a Phono Pre Amp

2 replies

I have recently purchased a Beomaster 6500 and discovered that my Beogram 5005 turntable needs a pre-amp.  I have found a few phono preamp RIAAs on Ebay that have 5 pin din plugs.  Is it possible to have been changed over to a seven pin so that the data link could be used?

Someone on ebay sells a kit, alternatively I'd bet that Steve @ Sounds Heavenly could make one up - it would require a 7PIN Din socket to accept the beogram, breakout to four phono's for the preamp, a lead running through for the two data pins and then back into a 7PIN din plug to go into the beomaster - maybe he already has one?
