Hi, can anyone recommend good quality phono plugs that are small in size
as the sockets on my new Radford pre are very close together,cheers.

I don't - they are the worse development of an already poor design. If you must use RCA phonos, then go for Neutrik Pro-Fi (http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/?product=489) plugs.

I would also suggest the neutrik profi, good quality plugs and not too much audiophile Jewellery bling.

I think I have the best delivered price, certainly the quickest delivery.

If you measure the spacing of the phono socket centres I will check they will fit.

Your are entitled to hold such a view I suppose - even if you are wrong.

The Pro-Fi plugs are OK.

Try the SME plugs, this type of socketry found on British clobber back then wasnt 3/4'' centre's ,was more 7/16ths ..

Have a word with SME they still make plugs, i think they are still the same pattern but take bigger wire now compared to the old. Let me know as i have the same problem as you with my Ferrograph amp. :)

Are WBT too big? They are fairly slim, easy to fit, sound ok for most situations.. Try Nick at hificollective.co.uk, he stocks them as well as others.

It's not hard to work out: The sockets in question are approx 7/16th centres which is under 12mm the barrel needs to less than that or they will clash with each other. :)
