Top ones, daftee. There's no difference, as far as I'm aware, apart from the barrel construction
You should stock them as, IMO, they're one of the best RCAs money can buy.

I do stock them dude, here you go, you were harping on about WBT so have you now decided Eichmann are better? I have the eichmanns on my ultimate interconnects had them on from day one, excellent connectors, the photos I posted are metal bodied and polymer bodied and yes you are correct the rest is the same pure silver pins.

No worries... I didn't realise that you stocked them. Now that I know, I'll link to your site, instead of elsewhere, when recommending themOriginally Posted by Mains Cables R Us
Nope, I haven't decided that they're better than the WBTs, simply because I haven't done an A/B comparison. I just decided to give the Eichmanns a go, for a change, when I ordered my tonearm cable from Yannis, and their combination with the Furutech CF-DIN(R) was formidable!
Having worked with both the WBTs and Eichmanns, of both designs, which would you say made the most 'sense', if you see what I mean?

I have the eti versions fittedIs it these
or these?
just curious chief
Yes mine is a little different to t he stock spd 4 as I had it designed for maximum detail retrieval and I wanted it to sound as forensic as possible I want to hear wants on the record rather than glossed over crap. So it should sound very very nice and clinical on your system which I believe is quite a revealing system

I use Eichmann's and I must say I really rate them. In concept they are a simple design, but nevertheless they are very effective. Essentially they do much the same, mechanically, as the WBT's - they have a single pressure point for the return (the difference being that the WBT uses a collet to secure the contact and the Eichmann uses the flexibility of the plastic. I've complained recently about plugs that make gentle or intermittent contact - the Eichmann's always give firm, secure contact. I've read people say that they are difficult to solder but I have found them very easy to solder and in some ways they are the most purist design.

I've ordered a set of four WBTs (0110Ag) for my TQ Phono cable. I like both them and the Eichmanns but chose WBTs based only on the locking collar since the cable is heavy.

Chaps,
I now have the SPD-4, in my mits, so comparisons will be made with it over the next few days, with both the stock 423.5 Phono Litz, and the special version, with Furutech and Eichmann connectors fitted.
Stay tuned for what are sure to be some very interesting results!
Marco.
