That's just a simple little mini/RCA that I traded for a mobo recently.

nice work on getting the mini connector to fit seemlessly.

Thanks, I find that using a stepped drill bit and enlarging the Neutrik barrel works quite nicely. Otherwise you have to stop the flex short of the jack which telegraphs through the shrink which is no good. Yet another example of the unibit being a must-have tool.

Ive done the same thing, only a bit less gracefully. I used my dremel with a barrel cutting bit to enlarge it when i needed to enlarge that exact neutrik barrel.

The good thing about the unibit is that it cuts cleanly enough that if you're careful the results are good enough that you don't feel obligated to cover it with shrink.
