What about the nickel plated connectors such as Switchcraft 3502. Why is nickel plating looked down on?
DIY phono interconnect -- need some advice
I'd like to make phono interconnects for my MM cart turntable. I need your advice on the wire and RCA plugs.
Candidate for the wire:
Cardas 1x21.5 coax
or Canare
RCA plugs (affordable and compact)
the problem is the Eichman bullet plugs I tried are too large and too tight. I am wondering if the plug is important in this application, at all. If so, I can choose from:
Switchcraft 3502
Rean
Neutrik profi
or maybe you can recommend....
And finally, how important is gold plating on the plug?
Thanks!
Gera

Found a pretty good solution: https://www.redco.com/Mogami-36-Series.html Just cut off the RCA’s on one end if you need it hardwired. Nice quality Mogami wire, Low mass factory terminated RCA connectors that are gold plated. I don’t think we can do much better than this. And it’s $15. Also this cables low capacitance! |
