Do you want the cable connector or the chassic connector. The cable might be somewhat difficult to show since it's rather tight in there once it's all put together. But if you just want pictures of one disassembled I can do that, I have more of them

Yes, I used the Canare narrow profile RCAs and the 1/4 inch plug and the rcas are covered in black heatshrink to keep the techflex from shifting too much, mostly because I didn't feel like JBWelding the techflex!

Next time, if you feel like it, try running the techflex all the way inside the jack and use the crimp to hold the techflex in place. It'll allow you a bit more freedom when it comes to whether or not you want to use heatshrink. I'm not saying your cables look bad (they do not ) just that you shouldn't feel like you have to use shrink.

Yeah, I've done that before too, but I've got about 15 more cables in the works, and I really don't mind the look of the Techflex. I've got a switchbox in the making, and it is going to be for AB testing, so I need output cables also from all my amps! Lotsa cables!

Are canare connectors considered the best bang for your buck connectors? I'm beginning to not care so much about using wbt's or whatever as they are expensive, and I see a lot of people are using canare w/ starquad and stuff in this thread.
