Which connector do you mean? To my knowledge Neutrik makes gold plated ones in both 1/8" and 1/4" series.
Or did you mean the size of the cable entry (not the size of the plug)?

Like I said, entry. The gold plated plugs only come with the black "housing" with a 4mm entry. Now the nickel plugs come with the chrome (or nickel) housing, either in the 4mm entry or the 6mm entry ("L").
Here:

notice at the bottom of the description it says 6mm entry. I can take a photo of one of my own....though I dont have a 4mm entry to compare to.

VR6ofpain,
No need for a photo. I got the picture now.
However the entry is not really a bottleneck, since it can be drilled larger.

I believe Tasker is italian company
www.taskercables.com .
It's a tad too deep blue in my pics
1x0.75mm2 (18AWG?) copper wire, 6mm outer diameter, plaited shielding (fibre&wire).
Didn't plug them yet, epoxy is still drying. Wonder if I'll hear the difference, atleast I can get rid of so-so quality looking 1/4">RCA adaptors.

made a few more cables so here they are.
mini-mini, mini-RCA, mini-1/4 inch jack
same RCA I showed before, but put some heatshrink on the plugs
black version of the RCA cable. waiting for black techflex
revised XLR cable. more wires and different geometry.
HGA silver lace, my 8-wire braid, the revised XLR cable (from top to bottom)
1/4 inch jack to dual XLR (to use balanced cans on regular amps)
dual XLR to 1/4 inch socket (to use regular cans on balanced amps)
they look better in natural light, but I was taking the pictures at night so didn't have that. might replace the pictures later with better ones....
