Ortofon 6NX-TSW 1010 Tonearm Cable RCA-5P

The Ortofon 6NX-TSW 1010 (RCA-5P) is a premium tonearm cable with a straight 5-pin DIN connector at the tonearm and gold-plated RCA connectors at the amplifier end.

Why this cable?

Many high-quality tonearms (including those from Rega, Pro-Ject, and Ortofon itself) use a 5-pin DIN connector at the base. The 6NX-TSW 1010 connects it directly to your phono stage using high-purity OFC copper (7 strands, 5N/6N) and a tight shield.

What you'll hear

Less background noise and interference, a calmer baseline for quiet passages – especially audible with high-resolution MC cartridges.

Who it's for (plain talk)

For tonearms with a straight 5-pin DIN connector. For an angled DIN plug (which saves space with some plinths), the L variant is the right choice.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my tonearm has a 5-pin DIN connector?
Usually a round 5-pin connector field at the tonearm base – if in doubt, send us a photo and we'll confirm it for you.

Straight or angled – what's the difference?
Purely mechanical: with little space behind the turntable, the angled plug (L variant) is often the more practical choice.
