huh?? generally RCA do not come in a female, you do not normally need a female as the panel jacks are both female. therefore all of yours are male and RCA cables are generally male->male. the only RCA brand that does a high end female AFAIK is cardas and these are quite a specialist connector, because as I said, you dont normally need one at all

are you sure YOU need one? what do you need it for?

Mixing RCA jacks & plugs from different manufacturers or product lines is totally acceptable provided they conform to RCA plug/jack size standards which the vast majority do.

I actually prefer this, as I find that using similar connectors creates a fairly subtle but obvious coloration on the sound. Once you have isolated the colorations introduced by the connectors you can select 2 contrasting ones so that they will cancel against each other leaving you with pure sine waves and perfect squares. The observant reader will also note that by carefully selecting RCA connectors certain colorations from the source, preamp, or amp as the case may be can be reduced or in very good quality gear the colorations can be eliminated.

Bahahahah see thats that facetious thing I was talking about, I knew you were capable of it

to the OP, no xhadow do not do RCA panel mounts, but they are made by vampire, so you could gey some nice vampires, they do not do SPC though AFAIK. I prefer eichmann for both cable and panel, but I suppose they do not have the bling factor. if you want to spend the most possible on the best connectors. try looking for the Bocchino Tomcat panel mount and the B11 or B2 cable mounts. have your cheque book ready
