Reasonable RCA Connectors?

Get the KLEIs.  They will be your favorite.  My strong prediction! 

Which KLEI model do you recommend for start? 

So I have used the KLE absolute harmony rca's and Duelund 16ga wire for making interconnects.  I also incorporated a braided shield since I was using the interconnect for a turntable.  They are very easy to use in an unshielded version but when using a shield it's difficult to solder the braid and the wire on the connectors.  It can be done but it's a very tight fit.  They sound great. 

You are so right about the difficulty of shielding with the KLEI.   I wrote them asking how they did it because it was not that easy.  

The Pure Harmony is a good place to start!
