Ready-made with T8 technology, so your vinyl arrives without hum or losses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the version and length to match your turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version do I need – DIN or Cinch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat depends on the tonearm. If your turntable has a five-pin DIN socket on the tonearm base, go for the 5-pin DIN to Cinch version. If two Cinch sockets already come out of the turntable, Cinch to Cinch is the right choice. If in doubt, send us a photo of the connection and we'll sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat lengths is the NF-S5 available in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 100, 150 and 200 centimetres. Phono cables are deliberately kept short, because the signal from the cartridge is very weak and every extra metre offers more surface area for interference. Choose the shortest length that still lets you position turntable and phono stage comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I avoid hum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, check the grounding. Most turntables need a ground wire to the phono stage in addition to the signal connection – if it's missing or loose, you'll get hum. Also keep power supplies and mains cables away from the tonearm cable. The NF-S5's continuous shielding helps, but it doesn't replace proper grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I also use the NF-S5 as a normal Cinch cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTechnically yes, in the Cinch version. But it's built for the phono path, meaning the very low signal levels between tonearm and phono stage. For ordinary line-level connections between a CD player, DAC and amplifier, the NF-A7 from the same ViaBlue family is the more suitable and straightforward choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the ViaBlue NF-S5 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause turntable wiring is more than just plugging in connectors: grounding, the connection type on the tonearm, matching with the phono stage. HD Zürisee in Wädenswil has experience with analogue turntables going back to the nineties, and our technician helps if there's hum. Send us a photo of your tonearm connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ViaBlue","offers":[{"title":"5-Pol-DIN (SME) → Cinch \/ 150 cm","offer_id":53023290982736,"sku":"VIA13708","price":780.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cinch → Cinch \/ 100 cm","offer_id":53023291015504,"sku":"VIA13743","price":640.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cinch → Cinch \/ 150 cm","offer_id":53023291048272,"sku":"VIA13747","price":740.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cinch → Cinch \/ 200 cm","offer_id":53023291081040,"sku":"VIA13749","price":840.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN (SME) → Cinch \/ 100 cm","offer_id":53549218890064,"sku":null,"price":680.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN (SME) → Cinch \/ 200 cm","offer_id":53549218922832,"sku":null,"price":880.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN → XLR \/ 100 cm","offer_id":53549218955600,"sku":null,"price":720.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN → XLR \/ 150 cm","offer_id":53549218988368,"sku":null,"price":820.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN → XLR \/ 200 cm","offer_id":53549219021136,"sku":null,"price":920.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN 90° → XLR \/ 100 cm","offer_id":53549219053904,"sku":null,"price":745.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN 90° → XLR \/ 150 cm","offer_id":53549219086672,"sku":null,"price":845.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-Pol-DIN 90° → XLR \/ 200 cm","offer_id":53549219119440,"sku":null,"price":945.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/3262\/8048\/files\/viablue-nf-s5-phono-tonarmkabel-cinch-cobra-produktansicht.jpg?v=1787061268","url":"https:\/\/hdzuerisee.ch\/en\/products\/viablue-nf-s5-phono-tonarmkabel","provider":"HD Zürisee AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
