RCA interconnects


So, I just received PS Audio Transcendent interconnects. Problem is, I cannot get them to mate with my equipment! Short of destroying the equipment or one's hands, how do you soften these suckers up so they will mate? Is there some trick anyone has discovered that will soften the clamping power? What is the trick?

Hi Sherod --

Too soon to tell...they sound pretty good out of the box, but can't say they are dramatically better than what I had before (homemade Mogami). I need more break in time. They are also part of other system upgrades that are in progress, so I'll have a better sense when all the bits come together.
Thanks for your suggestion. I contacted PS audio who explained that the outer barrel needs to be loosened, plug it in, then tighten. Makes sense, but an instruction card would have been helpful since I've not had locking RCA's before.
