What benefit do bullet plugs add to ICs?

Since there is more plastci than metal they are less conductive than metal ends so they help to reduce RF, etc.

Tim:
The bullet sound ok, I still prefer the sound of the metal plugs.

Just the opposite Bigkids. Since there is more plastic than metal, the cables have a higher potential to pick up RFI since they are not shielded as well. Plastic is also far more fragile than metal, so you're paying more and getting less for your money. I'm not going to go into specifics as to how silly the idea behind this type of plug is. Sean
