Second attempt, first success. Like the contrasting look of orange starquad with black techflex. The "carbon" techflex may even be better.

The carbon does look really good! For comparison, see these two shots. The first one is red canare with black techflex, the second is red canare with carbon techflex.






Close-up on the carbon:




IMHO, the carbon looks better. It has a nice shine to it you don't get with the black.

Made a new mini-rca a few days ago. I kind of like it.

Looks like a shell from an RCA connector.

I've actually wanted to try the same. I have a nuetrik mini connector that I broke, was gunna see about using the shell as a split.

I didn't use either but I've tried Neutriks before though. They work pretty well but you need a pretty small circumfrenced cable to be able to fit even through the large opening version. It was too small for most of my mini-rca cables but depending on what kind of cable you're working with, it'll might work out really well. Plus the Neutriks are so cheap you could buy them just to use the barrel!

They look like LOK locking RCAs - sort of a WBT clone. Here's a good source for inexpensive but decent RCAs.
