Hi All,

what's your favourite RCA? both male (plug) and female (socket)

I use Eichmann bullets for the male plugs and WBT clones for the females,
I wish I could justify the cost of real WBT...

I've considered but never bought Neutrik Profi and I've been burnt by cheapo WBT clone plugs


Opinions? comments? what do you use??

For RCA plugs I like the Eichmans as well. I am quite fond of the Cardas GRFA female RCA's. I don't know if they sound any better but I really like having the mounting nut on the outside of the chassis.

This allows the jacks to be removed from the chassis without unsoldering any wires. Very handy if you like tend to take your gear apart to tweaking.

I have used WBT locking which are very nice.  I like the way they lock.  Sometimes a pain when changing things around tho.  I've had cheepos that got streched out and made not so funny noises.

I like the Eichman bullets, but haven't had much experience with them.  I've read accounts that they are on the fragile side.

I also have and like the Canare plugs.  Smooth, secure connections.

I'm not so hip on the Monster "turbine" cut.  They grip good but feel like they are scratching/cutting the female plug when you take them on and off.  Probably ok if you don't remove them every other week.

I've had good luck with DH Labs HC Alloy and the home theater line.  Easy to work with, great sound, no complaints.
