If we're talking phono cables, silver over copper or silver (fragile) all the way. Depends how bright you want it to sound. Connex is a great connector for the money. I personally like gold plated, I've also had silver plated rca's.
DIY phono interconnect -- need some advice
I'd like to make phono interconnects for my MM cart turntable. I need your advice on the wire and RCA plugs.
Candidate for the wire:
Cardas 1x21.5 coax
or Canare
RCA plugs (affordable and compact)
the problem is the Eichman bullet plugs I tried are too large and too tight. I am wondering if the plug is important in this application, at all. If so, I can choose from:
Switchcraft 3502
Rean
Neutrik profi
or maybe you can recommend....
And finally, how important is gold plating on the plug?
Thanks!
Gera
