Audiophile Grade RCA Input Suggestions?


The right RCA input on my Trichord Dino phono preamp has gone dead. Verified through multimeter that there is an internal short.

This is a good opportunity to upgrade! For those of you who build/mod their components, what RCA input components do you suggest? I need a two-way component, and I'll be upgrading both at the same time to keep the sound signature the same.

If you're looking for a 2-RCA jack component with 3 leads onto the circuit board, you are not going to be able to get anything good.  Best bet is to search through digikey's offerings:

If you're willing to solder chassis wire between the RCA and the board, the Cardas are excellent value.  They are the "poor man's Furutech Rhodium" components.  If you want the best, get Furutech Rhodium.  They have an extra heavy plating of rhodium on their stuff.
