The Pro-Ject Pin it is a set of eight replacement cartridge pin connectors, designed to replace the standard tags that connect tonearm wires to the pins of a phono cartridge. Supplied as part of Pro-Ject's range of turntable maintenance and upgrade accessories, the Pin it is aimed at vinyl enthusiasts looking to improve or restore the signal path between cartridge and tonearm.
Spring-Loaded Connector Technology
Each connector uses precision spring technology to grip the cartridge pin securely, maintaining a reliable mechanical and electrical connection that resists loosening over time. This is an improvement over simple push-on tags, which can work loose during cartridge swaps or through normal vibration in use.
Gold-Plated Beryllium Copper Construction
The connectors are made from beryllium copper, a high-performance alloy chosen for its combination of excellent conductivity, spring resilience, and durability. A gold plating over the beryllium copper further reduces contact resistance and protects against oxidation, ensuring a stable signal path for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges.
A Simple Upgrade with Measurable Benefits
Worn or corroded cartridge tags are a common and often overlooked cause of channel imbalance, noise, or signal loss in a vinyl setup. Replacing them with the Pin it connectors is a low-cost, straightforward intervention that can restore or improve cartridge performance without replacing the cartridge itself. The set of eight provides enough connectors to replace all four cartridge pins twice over, or to equip two cartridges.
