If you can find silver wire and silver RCA's, that would be the best because of the lowest resistance. What you found sounds good, but haven't actually looked at the link. Enjoy!
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

Found a pretty good solution: https://www.redco.com/Mogami-36-Series.html Just cut off the RCA’s on one end if you need it hardwired. Nice quality Mogami wire, Low mass factory terminated RCA connectors that are gold plated. I don’t think we can do much better than this. And it’s $15. Also this cables low capacitance! |

Sorry about the Eighman bullets. :( How about the DH Labs pure silvers? https://www.partsconnexion.com/DHLABS-57225.html Here are some of the best most compact RCA connectors I know of. https://www.partsconnexion.com/CONNEX-53453.html |
