I have them on some (brand-x) cables. Quite frankly they are cheesy IMO. Do not like having to use a hair dryer to make them fit. Do not care for the plastic (don't try using a heat gun). Sonically I have many cables that sound better with a variety of connectors from Cardas to WBT. As far as cheap cables go, my old Audiodyne Multipath cables with the BNC ends sound best. Many forget that the equipment jacks can be far worse. I would hardwire all my gear if I planned to keep it forever!
Any experiences with Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs
Some of you may have read recent articles about the re-designed RCA plugs from Australia, the Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs (most unfortunate choice of names if you are Jewish or remember the Holocaust...). These plugs have gotten some excellent reviews in HiFi+ mag, Ultra High Fidelity, etc. For more info about this RCA plug, check out the following Web links:

2. http://www.uhfmag.com/Issue63/interconnect.html
I was wondering if any of our members have had personal experience with this RCA plug. I am specifically interested in learning about whether it is difficult to install these puppies on your own interconnects (or whether this should be done by a dealer), how they "sound" (particularly compared to other high-end RCA's, such as WBT's, etc.).
Brooklyn Audio, one of the main dealers here on Audiogon, is selling these RCA's for $36 for a set of 4, which strikes me as a very reasonable price if the plugs perform as advertised.
I am thinking about buying a set of 4 to try on the interconnect between my preamp and power amp. Any comments / input would be welcome.
