I can see the Lok cost less than the WBT and that they are good quality, they are not the same build though.

The WBT I suggest has a nylon/plasticky lightweight body with pure silver ground and signal contacts and appears to work very well with most cables.
The only reason more manufacturers dont use them is the price compared to lower cost connectors.

Looking on homegrown audio site it does not really say what they are made from, most likely brass like most reasonably priced connectors and there is nothing wrong with that.

It would be interesting to try the same cable with various types of connector as there should be differences.

The price of these cables looks very reasonable if it is 6 nines purity.

Reading some of the posts Marco has changed to the non magnetic barrel black body connector so that's a step in the right direction which happened after I mentioned the WBT's
