Harmonic Tech Magic Link 1 - won't fit rca jacks

OK, Time for a stupid audio trick. Sometimes I have trouble gripping locking RCA connectors and other connections. I keep a wide rubberband (off of broccoli from the grocery store)stashed near my audio gear along with binding post wrenches. The rubberband gives me the grip I need without damaging the connections.

Well, I did tell you it was stupid. I also use a 12mm deep socket wrench covered with a piece of old bicycle innertube for binding posts. The binding post wrenches I purchased were all 7/16 and 1/2.

Just ask yourself, "What would McGuyver do?"

I know now what sherod meant. I did end up tightening them and then had to bring in a small wrench to grip and loosen them.

Sherod, That is all a matter of perspective.

What's interesting is that the locking RCA connectors that I've tried tighten by going counter-clockwise. Also, a word of caution: Do not over-tighten. Just make them snug. I know because I over-tightened one and it was a nightmare getting it off.

matter sorted. my first time with locking rca's. thanks tvad!

i dont know whether they are the locking kind. i'll try that today when i get home. thanks.
