Din or RCA output?

The cartridge operates with a low signal voltage. The more contact points there are, the more potential for error. That's a fact. If these contact points are cleaned regularly, there's nothing wrong with that, but I decided not to.
If it is possible without completely disassembling the tonearm, i always recommend continuous cabling.

Rega Incognito Rewire Kit. It cures the lumpy, tucked under bass, and it cures the splashy treble and mid-prominent balance. “If the Rega arm was one of the bargains of a century now gone, then the Incognito rewire kit dusts it off and sets it up for the one that’s just arrived.”.

Sure I suppose one can cut off the pins and solder it up…
They seem to sound fine with the various colours of tonearm cable just slid on though.

There are fighter airplanes, spacecraft, deep sea vehicles which all have connectors coming out the ying-yang, and they all seem to work just fine. Maybe they are more digital now. Even the Glomar ran power and video for miles on their cable harness.

Sure a cartridge motor generates a tiny signal, but gold plated pins and female connectors seem to be making good connections.

This usually takes an hour. To do this, unscrew the DIN plug, cut the cable directly behind it, solder the new cable there and solder it thinly; thick areas prevent the new cable from passing through. If you have a replaceable headshell, loosen the lower screw on the bayonet catch, then pull the new cable through the tonearm using the old cable. When soldering at the bayonet, insert an old headshell and solder it on using a short, strong heat. If the heat is applied for too long, the spring contacts inside will no longer work. Then fit a strain relief (made of bronze in the kit), either using the screw from the DIN plug or with drops of glue.

The continuous wiring is complete. Without a replaceable headshell, I would use the pickup plugs from Clearaudio. They are made of direct gold-plated copper and their shape ensures a secure fit.

This cabling was clearly superior to my previous AudioQuest Leopard PhonoCable(900€) in terms of sound. If you're happy with the sound, I wouldn't change anything, but there's a lot to improve.
P.S
You don't want to really compare connector quality with aircraft and high-end audio. They use connectors like Lemo and Tuchel, which are worlds ahead of the audio in terms of contact reliability.
