I've been considering the Jelco, but from what I understand it needs to have a 5 pin DIN -> RCA connected to it. Jelco seems to sell these in 2 formats: Straight DIN and right angle DIN.
Which cable fits when used on a SL-1200 mk2?

Straight plug is the simple answer. That aside, I do recommend giving Jelco's own cables a mighty swerve, particularly the pink Neglex versions, since they sound a tad 'uninspiring'. You can get much better sound for less money from a number of cable suppliers and a tonearm cable is not particularly difficult to make yourself.
Very interesting Hugo. I use the boggo Jelco DIN and wondered where it featured in the order of things.
Hi Milo.
Not tried the 501, 502 etc, but did have the cheaper, budget ('Eco'?) one ... had plastic red and white rca plugs. An Audio Origami cable was a noticable upgrade in terms of hearing fine detail.
For 'budget' tonearm cables, I do recommend those made with Van Damme Classic XKE Pro-Patch cable, which is what Audio Origami use. It was an Audio Origami cable that showed me how much music the pink Jelco Neglex cable was shutting out!
Glad you're happy with the 750 ... one of hifi's real bargains imo.

Tell me more, please.
The cost of the cable itself practically turned me off the Jelco shortly after posting this. It's hard to justify spending $200 on a cable for a $600 tonearm. I always figured I could just DIY one up or at least buy a generic cable, but the only connectors I could find are the cardas ones, which themselves aren't exactly a bargain
