For sale, one, 1.5-meter (58" long) Zu Xaus DIN/RCA phono cable. Measures 58" from end of straight DIN to tip of RCA. Ground slightly longer. No box, includes original pouch. $150 shipped. PP F&F or Venmo.

This has been sitting around unused since I sold all my DIN connector tone arms. Excellent condition. No tears in Techflex covering. IIRC this cable listed for ~ $600 new. (There is one on epay for $799... free shipping.... :o )

DIN wired per diagram below from Zu site, looking at top of DIN connector.

    Can you estimate the number of hours on it? My understanding is that this cable has a long burn-in period, so I'm curious where this one stands. Thanks in advance.

    I estimate 200-225 hours. It was used with a Moerch DP-6 when I had the Nottingham Space 294. Around that time I was hosting audio meets and music club meets at the house with mostly vinyl types. :)

    Then I went air bearing tonearm with the heavy plinth Lenco. Current tonearm has RCA output block.

    The old Nottingham setup with Moerch DP-6. Had a Wave Mechanic speed control too.

    It's a very nice cable at a great price. I can't tell from the pics...does the plug have the little guiding 'ear/tab' coming out at the noon position? This helps guide the plug properly into the socket...I'm just going to stop right there :)

    LOL I've seen them with and without indexing pins. This one has none so you can't just mash it in.

    I didn't just flip the same pic. Both sides, not even a dot or indentation.
