Hi guys - looking for a connector similar to this one on my set of RHA 750's. I really like the spring relief, but that's not completely necessary. However I really like the size and I am looking for something with the little step down piece so it can fit in cases. Are they generally referred to as step downs or is there another better term?

Thanks!

I used these when I reterminated my RHA MA750s, I was able to re-use the RHA barrel after filing off the threads of the original plug and deleted the spring strain relief in favor for one from heatshrink

Did up two Mr Speakers cables for my friend.

This one is done with Mogami quad, a DHC molecule jack and nylon sheathing.

This one isn't technically a new one, just me fixing a broken cable. I used a spare 6.3mm jack for the Y-split as the old one was broken.

For you guys who make your own braided cables: where do you buy the cable you use as source? I'm looking to make some of my own, or at least buy some pre-braided cable for quickly redoing a couple IEMs with bad cables...

You can buy the Mogami or similar pre-bundled wire to break open, or buy single strand (more expensive, though usually nicer). AFAIK nobody sells pre-braided that isn't shielded etc. like the Mogami.

Yeah I'm looking to buy some nice but not crazy expensive single strand, but also nothing too heavy so it's not too much for wearing IEMs. Probably end up getting some Mogami or similar though. I have used Mogami for 1/4 unbalanced cables a lot.

Can anyone recommend a place to get strain reliefs? I'll have something to add to the thread soon, finally
