Don't try this at home hElP

One of my finer Idiotic moments of audio. I just received from another member a pair of long Straight Wire Maestro RCA cables. When I plugged them into the input of my pre, I realized they not very snug. I pulled out the plyers and a tshirt and tried to bend them inward. Nothing, then I got rid of the tshirt and plyered them direct and 2 of the outer gold sleave things broke off. The cables still sound fine, can anyone tell me how a signal is passed thru a RCA cable? Is it just through the male pin? What does the outer portion of the RCA do?

thanks and please learn by my mistakes

I was perusing the Techni-Tool catalog last night and found a proper set of pliers made from depleted uranium which would not leave marks on the RCAs at all and as a bonus the RCAs will now glow and insertion in the dark confines behind equipment racks will be much easier. Techni-Tool mentioned something about a health hazard, but what a bunch of whiners as what are hospitals for?

What the hell, Bob, you told me the "pinch" marks on your "T"-shirts were from good looking Texas chicks!?! And are those high speed racing pliers?

Thanx for the thong idea, Jeff. I tried it and it certainly straightened my bottom end out.

I have given up on women and now keep cats as I find them easier to train.....All the women in my past have been cheap, mean and easy BTW.....Have to be careful what I say as some of my exes are in Texas.....Also, Stan sure likes your new preamp as he has camped out inside it all morning.....
