  That link is broken for me.

The link works for me but those RK connectors are absolute trash.
 
The strain relief on the barrel is a grub screw that screws down onto the wire. The best Chi-Nee threading that money can buy, so order a dozen and you might find two that actually have good working threads.

Also expect a month shipping unless you pay for a faster method.

I have had good luck with the Yarbo and Pailiccs connectors pictured above from lunashops.
Just remember that 95% of all their stuff is cheap clone quality especially the Oyaide and Viablue.

are these good ? http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=4100
 
I need one 2.5 mm trrs male and 3.5 mm trrs female for RE-600 balanced connector. found 2.5 mm trrs with Pailiccs but they do not have 3.5 mm trrs female.
 
as most of the their stuff is cheap, SQ wise Pailiccs are good? or I should look somewhere else and avoid lunashops completely. Shure connectors I got from them paying 10$ and wait for a month was crap, they did not work at all.

I have never used those connectors, lunashops has cheap stuff, so it is really up to you to try them.
 
As for the Pailiccs, I don't notice a difference in the perceived SQ of connectors and the same goes for wire. Unless the connectors are defective or badly corroded then they would all sound the same to me... As they always say... YMMV.

In my experience, Pailics is of decent quality. Never had any problems with Pailics (lose contact, hard to plug, tin not sticking, etc). The one bummer side of Pailics is its soldering contacts that's a headache for inexperienced guys. 
 
Oyaide should be the lower border of 'high-end stuffs', so it's also good.

Do you guys think the pin part of a 4-pin mini xlr would pop into this barrel?

XLR plugs are very big compared to tiny xlr...
 
Here is the drawing of that right angle.

Here is an adapter for size comparison.
