Differences btw Blue Heaven & Red Dawn?

Carl, Neutrik make very good AES/EBU connectors, but I was referring to their RCA connectors, which have a protruding earth shield, which makes contact before the hot pin. This is nice if you like changing cables while your stereo is on. But the outer shield is designed to retract as you push the pin in place, and this is achieved by spring-loading. I am leaping to a conclusion that it is the poor electrical integrity of this feature that makes them sound bad, but they do indeed sound bad, particularly given their high price.

Oh, I've not ever seen their RCA connectors. What I hate is when a perfectly decent, affordable interconnect like Wireworld Atlantis 2 only comes with a brass RCA connector. I'd like to change these to a copper connector, but Wirewirld's copper RCA's are like $50 a pair. Have you ever heard the Clearaudio RCA connectors (Discovery cable uses them)? They're supposed to be better sounding than the best WBT, or so I gather.

No Carl, that brand has not got to the Antipodes. Much as I like the Wireworld products for their neutrality, I agree you get little for the price you pay. WBT's sound good, but I dislike the fitting arrangements on some of them. I have a liking for the Cardas plugs at the price.
