Need RCA loading plugs


I have an Einstein Phono pre amp that uses RCA plugs to provide different loading options for MC cartridges. I need some help finding someone who can make 4 sets of plugs with different ohm loads. I understand it is not difficult but I have no experience. Thank you in advance for your help. Steve Gunther

Now don't you feel silly even asking that question? Herron Audio uses this type of loading , you might drop them a request.


Right. Herron sends an assortment of RCA loading connectors along with every phono stage. Keith did listening tests and likes the sound of the particular connectors and resistors he uses. Other than that however they are perfectly ordinary RCA connectors. Open one up, you got two pins with a resistor soldered in between them. That's it.

Its a loading resistor. What else could there possibly be?

???

Beuller? 

Sorry if some are triggered. There's a saying, "This is gonna be a stupid question." Which sometimes is in fact followed by a stupid question.

Triggered? Go sit somewhere quiet and dark and hug your blanky till the bad feelings go away. Or, better yet, grow a pair and grow up.
So what you do Steve is buy 4 sets of good quality RCA plugs and 4 pairs of resistors in whatever values you want to try. Actually if it was me I would just buy one pair of RCA because its a whole lot easier to spend $50 on one really good set than $200 on 4. But whatever.

At the same time you buy several different value resistors. 

Then you simply solder the resistors into the plugs. This could hardly be any easier. I mean you got a resistor with two ends, you got a plug with two ends. Do I have to draw you a picture???

If you have to buy a soldering station, flux, and solder, then buy a soldering station, flux, and solder. Use it once, be a man. Not a helpless mouse running to a real man every time he needs even the simplest thing done.

Geez Louise. Just do it.
