Whatever Maplins sold can likely be found on ebay and for less.

^ and what rega use


These https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rean-phon...ctor-red-a30qt

These are fine for the money.

[Bigman80]

Those are what I would choose to use.

Bonkers. Moving mechanical parts on a RCA. Serves no purpose other than gimmickry.

Awful plug. Honestly.

The contacts are brass!!! Not even gold plated copper and they £16 for two!!!

Talk that the plug "breaks the signal from the ground due to retractable screen" < utter crap from the marketing team.

Here's the Foo*

Makes ground before signal contact and breaks signal before ground < no other doesn't. The contact pin HAS to go in first because the ground contact retracts!!

No more disturbing noise and broken speaker cones < many an instances of RCA plugs breaking speaker cones is there?

Precisely machined to our demanding quality standards !

Neutrik unique chuck type strain relief



All personal opinion of course

Andy,

I've spent many many hours and a shed load of cash, trying all different kinds of plugs and cable combinations. I know the guys here have loads of experience but please just go and buy the MSaudio plugs and rest assured that there is NO better plug at that price for 4.

I've tried these also and totally agree, AVOID.

I agree with Bigman80, these are not very good plugs.

[smangus]

Sounds like MS Audio are in the lead any other offers before I pull the trigger on them ? Thanks for all the suggestions btw.
cheers Andy

Agree with Oliver , these plugs are excellent for the money , particularly the silver ones ( IMO ) .

Sorry now off topic - I've had problems with the MS Audio type strain relief, with thinner cables moving and and breaking their joint. Is there a nice solution other than cutting a thick piece of plastic and have the grub screw push into that and holding the cable in place?

[brian2957]

I usually put some heatshrink over the cable and the joint before putting the barrel on . If still not happy I put heatshrink over the barrel and the cable .
