View Full Version : Who else supplies these Phono Plugs
Hi all
This is a bit of an off chance request
All my interconnects are terminated with Gold Phono Plugs once supplied by Maplin here in the UK under their code of JZ09K and JZ10L
Obviously since their demise from the high street I can no longer get any, other than the odd one that pops up on ebay
looking at the attached photos, anyone recognise them from another supplier, I am sure Maplin didn't have them specifically manufactured for them alone. so anyone know of another supplier selling them.
Thanks for any help with this

I would just go for Neutrik Rean phono plugs, which cost very little and are quite good by any standard. This supplier is a good one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Neutrik-Rean-NYS373-Male-Phono-RCA-Connector-Gold-Plug-PRO-HIFI-CHOOSE-COLOUR/282013688805?hash=item41a95363e5:m:mlFpJ8wv9LQUnfU fPPo3sbA
Thanks for the link
Unfortunately I am a bit OCD, If I start using something else I would have to change all of them to the same type, OCD can be a curse at times.

Those are what I have used, as well as the Maplin sourced plugs of the OP.
Gold plating the exterior may look nice cosmetically, but from a contact resistance point of view it is only important to gold plate the contacting surfaces.

Thanks for the PM's Lawrence, had my eye on one of them, the others are the 8mm version, I use the 6mm ones.
