Are you mass less

Im using ETI connectors and v twist from venhaus.The Aeco (aec) are another i really like (parts conn)...i guess cause they are reasonable...I like the copper,plenty of clarity.

Correction...

That would be the "male" RCA (I'm old and married;-).

Recent convert to low mass plugs/sockets.

When restoring/rebuilding/upgrading my Lenco L70, the tonearm wires got me thinking about signal strength and amount of metal in its path.

Parts Connexion sells the KLE series of connectors, and I decided to get some male/female connectors for the DIY cables/rca plates.

Now, I didn’t do an a/b comparison - not so simple to do with a build :)

About to build a SET integrated amp, and once it’s all dialed in, I’ll be installing the KLE connectors. 

Seems to make sense to not have a big chunk of metal as a connector that has many, many times the amount metal/mass of the wire carrying the signal.

I’m using low mass Banana Z Plug connectors from Nerve Audio. I crimp and solder mine to Mogami 3103 speaker cable. I bought the silver plated. I use a golf tee to expand the opening for a snug fit. Love them. Sound great!

I'm going low mass.  First on my speaker cables, eventually on my RCA plugs.  

GR research sells Electra tube connectors which seem a bit pricey to be so imperfect.  

For the speaker cables male it is easy to find the BFA plugs mentioned above.  For the Female, all I find is the KLEI harmony and they aren't long enough to attach through the wood panel of the back of a speaker.  I'm thinking of making my own out of copper rod.  I have a nice machine shop.  I'll bore copper rod to the right diameter (about 4.25mm), turn the outside to the thickness I want, press it into  a delrin rod and thread it to fit into the back of my speaker.  A bit of work but I enjoy it   OTOH, if someone knows of an off the shelf low mass female that will work I'll jump on it, my time isn't free.
