I purchased an Ortofon OM5E cartridge for my Pioneer PL-518 turntable based on a recommendation. The problem is the 4 pins do not line up with the plug socket. Did I get a bum steer? Thanks.
A more detailed description would be helpful - what four pins and what socket? are you talking about the mains connection or the connection between the deck and amplifier? If you dont know the names of the different type of interconnects (RCA Phono or DIN for example) then describe them.
