Russ, I've got the cable from Zu 'n I've darned well bin usin' it ;) I, too, was despairing of hope, finding that the original cable didn't work, then that there was nuance attached to a proper replacement. But, I despair no more.
The first thing I checked when I received the cable was the DIN fit. With the arm still mounted on its board, and the board still mounted to the 'table, the fit seemed perfect. It would have perhaps been easier to detect any dimensional difference with the arm unmounted, but if there are differences I'd say they're insignificant.
Now, I'm not sure exactly which male DIN Zu uses (and I haven't asked them). I don't know of any other than the Cardas, but the Zu (the cable model is called the Xaus) tonearm cable has a plastic finish cover over the termination, which I don't see offered by Cardas. So, I don't know where, at least the cover, comes from, and I don't know with certainty that the male DIN is Cardas. I'm guessin' it is, and that Zu arranged the cover.
I'd still like to mess around DIY'ing a cable or two. I'm just gonna go ahead and buy a Cardas male DIN and check out how everything works. I'll report back on how it fits the Grace. I don't know how I'm going to finish the termination, though. Just a plug with some fine wires hangin' from it doesn't seem quite right. We'll see.
Net: The Zu Xaus with the male DIN phono plug seems to be quite a good fit, and all sounds good. So here's one pathway towards the fulfillment of a hoping. Maybe there are more...
Cheers.
