RCA interconnects

I agree with Elizabeth. Hand tightened to snug is just right. Never use pliers,etc. to tork it on. You can even over-tighten it with your hands and it can be a nightmare getting them off. I had some AZ interconnects that I over-tightened one time and you don't even want to know the damage I did to the connectors just to get them off. I believe the procedure is, clockwise to loosen, counter-clockwise to tighten. Remember, snug is enough. Enjoy your new cables.

Elizabeth as always, speaks truth.

Agreed about the degree of tightness required. A little tip: if you do overtighten, the little rubber gripper "pads" for getting tight jar lids open works wonderfully in allowing you to get a good grip. I have several of these cut into 3"long x 3/4"wide strips that are useful for unsticking overly tight binding posts, unscrewing cable housings, etc.

Thanks for all your advice...snug sounds like the good way to go!

Hey Mindmeat,

How are those Transcendents doing in your system? I just got me a pair and would like to hear your thoughts.
