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.

Very nice looking cables, ttr. 
That blue Tasker cable is very....uumm...blue. Looks good naked. I have never heard of or used Tasker cable. What's the specs (no. of strands, size, sheilding or no, copper?, etc....) and how does it sound?

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....

Wow Alex, you've been busy!! 
I made a couple new cables today to integrate into my system. The first is a 5 foot pair of Cardas crosslink cable with Canare F-09 terminations, using Cardas solder of course  . As Percy states in his catalog this is an excellent recipe for a budget interconnect. I build this cable to run from my television to a passive volume control which will then go to my switchbox so I can finally listen to movies and games with my headphones I haven't built the passive volume control yet, still waiting on a few more parts, but I'll try and post some pics when it's done.
Next is a cable I built in anticipation for my beyond-maxed PPA v2 that Thrice of Rockhopper is currently building me. I didn't want all those Black Gates to go to waste so I made this cable to a pretty high spec. It's a 3.5 foot pair made from Cardas wiring, Cardas solder and Vampire 800C pure copper RCAs, then covered with some fancy flex. Looking forward to hearing the vibes from this one.

Alex, is there much of a difference between the Neutrik NP3C and the NP3X? I have to make an order at partsexpress soon and thought I would pick up a few up if they are pretty similar.

not really... the mini connector stuff I made early in the summer and the long white RCA IC's are from a while back (only changed the heatshrink colors and design on the RCA plugs). only the black RCA cable and XLR cable are the new ones I made recently.
they all are 8-wire braids btw, including the mini stuff.
as for the question about the connector, sent you a PM.
