DIY RCA interconnects with locking RCA plugs

[sb6]

Very nice looking cables, congrats on a great job! I made a DIY pr of interconnects last year but went the solid silver wire route and teflon insulator path. Curious what brand/model RCA plugs you used? One very highly recommended type are the Eichmann bullet plugs.

I have read a lot of people doing the silver interconnects. I am thinking about doing this although I had some reservations as some have complained that silver can be too "bright." My system actually got a lot "brighter" with these two interconnects that I made. I think it's definitely some thing that I would like to try in the future as many just rave about silver. I used WBT solder which has silver in it so there is a hint of that in the interconnects.

I have also heard a lot of good things about the Eichmann bullet plugs. I use speaker cable by a company named Signal Cable and they seem to highly recommend getting the Eichmann's on their interconnects. As for my cable, I decided to use Locking plugs by GLS audio. I really wanted "locking plugs" for my cables as I often do switch them out and locking plugs put almost no wear and tear on the equipment and provide a much tighter connection when on. I looked at locking plugs from WBT, vampire, and GLS and found them to be of very similar build quality and essentially identical design. I decided to go with GLS as they were a fraction of the cost of the more expensive brands. Needless to say, I am very happy with them.

You should be proud, those are more attractive than most anything on the market... and given the materials used, I would guess at least as good sounding. Great job! Has your friend ordered a pair of "Invenio Scotch Bonnets" yet? (tagline... the hottest ICs on the planet! )

Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately, I only bought a pack of 10 plugs and I have made two sets of cables (8 plugs total). I checked and the same plugs are on back order! That means no more cables (or this design at least) for some time. I am too selfish to give these to anybody else as I just love the sound they created with my system...... who needs friends anyway?
