These connectors look like they came out of the movie TRON... where did you get these?

I didn't manage to actually hurt myself. There are only a lot of tiny glass particles which itch.
I bought the connectors at an electronics store near our flat. I asked for RCAs which should be suitable for 10mm cables.

Wow, how's that sound compared to stock? How about to other cables like the Zu (if you have or had one to compare it to).
Nice work on those cables, especially the mini to mini.
