Mweh, I dont see the point in the cardas jacks when neutrik profis and eichmann bullets are available. Sure it's silver plated, but the bullets come in silver plated versions too. To me, the internals look like a badly diecasted piece compared to other RCAs. The outside looks pretty, but the phrase you can't judge a book by it's cover works both ways round
I personally felt Syzygies's post was uncalled for too - I guess it's one of those borderline situations.
