Did you tighten the strain-relief metal clamp already?
From the looks of it, they look like the normal Neutriks.

The Neutriks I buy are $0.65 each

There are two different barrels for them, 4mm and 6mm. Looks like you got the 4mm; you can use a Unibit to widen it if needbe.

nope...it was already like that when i got it


interesting...one last question remains....are they any good?

I like to use my little friend called "drill" to make the openings larger when necessary.

to add to this, the 4mm entry Neutrik mini is the NYS231. the 6mm entry Neutrik mini is the NYS231L.

yeah....thats what i did with my other cheapo plugs. only thing is i dont have a drill. had to pass the others to my best friend to do it for me. cant get him to do it now coz he just became a daddy on the 25th so hell be busy with his firstborn.

i mentioned it in stock form. as an FYI kinda thing

would still like to know if these plugs are any good...

You could just pay $1 and see for yourself. I personally really like them, but it can be a nuisance at times to screw on the barrel. I much prefer them to the Canare F12 though, that thing is far too big for my needs.

Here's my latest cable using said connectors...




It's pretty much exactly what mb3k made some time ago. 3 strands of silver, 4mm Neutriks, etc

That's a nice looking cable Hem, the braid it tight which makes it look better. Did you braid yourself, or did you buy pre-braided wire?

I braided it myself. The silver was taken from something I had made previous, so it was already twisted which made it hard to rebraid consistently. It's mostly evened out, but I'm sure something prebraided like the wire from HGA would be more evenly spaced than mine.

My first real cable.

RCA to RCA
Canare Starquad
Neutrik NYS 352 Connectors

REANs

thanks alot for ur thougts on the REANs guys...real big help

its a sunday, im free. and i had nuttin better to do. so i made another mini-rca to test with my headamp (that makes it 3 cables to test!!)




mini is a cheapo plug. the RCA is some cheap china brand "Choseal" supposedly a "Super Pure Copper Connector" as stated on the packaging.

cable is a fake of the Canare L-2T2S. labelled as Canere L2T-2S. yes.. its spelled with an E and the "-" in the model number is in the wrong place just like the original its a 2-core shielded cable.

under the clear heatshrink, the silver cables u see spiralling around the blue and white RCA cable is actually the shield. took me some time to unbraid it. used it as ground on the mini side. but did not terminate it on the RCA side (should i have terminated it?? its a uni-directional cable anyway)

It won't work unless you terminate the shield at the RCA side as well.
