RCA is loose

Hi I have a wonderful digital coax cable going from Lumin streamer into my Reimyo dac.  The Reimyo RCA connector is well fixed to the chasis but doesn't hold the RCA connector very well.  The other end fits into the Lumin perfectly.  I saw someone used aluminum tape to thicken the diameter of the connector.  

Any other thoughts?  I do have BNC connectors at both ends so I am thinking get an adaptor. If that is a good idea recomendations appreciated. 

Best JH

Love this stuff!

Make a shim out of Teflon plumber's tape.

Fold the tape over itself multiple times and then twist it into a tight/thin string.

Place one end of the string to the inside of the male RCA and then connect it, cutting off any excess.

The slightly reduced contact area should not be a problem (might even sound better;-).
