KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!!
I will assume that I got a defective set of connectors if at least five people actually remove their cables and closely inspect the negative contact for wear.  You need to look for it.  If you do not look for it with bright light and a magnifying ... 
KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!!
it helps to know how to work with these. It has absolutely nothing to do with not knowing how to work with them. Simply pushing the connector onto an RCA jack two times COMPLETELY REMOVED the silver coating on the negative contacts. It is not jus...

Aberyclark,I guess I feel that soldering is so easy you might as well do it even if it’s temporary.Please check your negative contacts closely after you connect them to RCA jacks a couple of times. You will need good lighting and a magnifying glas... 
KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!!
I just made a set of ICs with the Pure Harmony connectors as well. After connecting the cables to RCA jacks about two times, the silver plating on the negative contact wore completely off on two out of the four connectors! It may have come off aft...

I visit a LOT of forums and this is the only one with this issue.  Audiogon is either incompetent or behind it. 
Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection?
It's too bad they stopped making the Expedit line.  The Kallax, which  replaced the Expedit, is basically the same as the Expedit but thinner and weaker.  That was the whole point of the Kallax.  They wanted to reduce cost/use less wood.  When I p... 
Digital, Low Mass, ClassD, Less expensive, Let it happen!
This thread has to be a joke.but now we know sound is better with low mass designs.Oh, we do?  Who is "we"?  This has to be one of the most ridiculous generalizations I have ever heard! 
Duelund 12AWG speaker wire sheathing
How are you guys "twisting" the pairs? You should not do it by laying two wires next to each other, picking them up an the end, and rotating the pair together. What you want to do it hold one end in a vice or something similar and then hold one wi...

What do you consider crap construction soldering? Just curious. 
Does a cheap cd transport create poor digital copies?
Perhaps CDRs are easier for players to read than commercially produced CDs.  Totally guessing here. 
Power Cord Break In
Just use a three prong to IEC adapter.https://www.amazon.com/d/Electric-Plugs/SF-Cable-prong-Adapter-60320-C14/B004OC579E It seems like a power cord will take forever to break in on a fridge since they only run intermittently. 
Does a cheap cd transport create poor digital copies?
The program Exact Audio Copy will make a bit perfect copy of a CD as long as the disc has no serious physical defects.  It does not matter what CD ROM drive or USB cable is used.  There may be other programs that do the same things these days, but... 
Silver plated copper
I am no chemical engineer but I think oxidation is primarily a result of being in contact with the atmosphere over an extended time period. Corrosion, to my way of thinking, is the actual destruction of the material due to any number of factor... 
Silver plated copper
Silver will oxidize just as copper will, but silver will not corrode like copper. What is the difference between oxidizing and corroding?
