Is "fgg-0b-302-clad52z" still be the connector for the 2022 version of Utopia? Thanks.
https://www.cosmic-cables.co.uk/product-page/eidolic-2-5mm-jacksI'm looking to get a hold of, preferably, 2.5mm TS connectors for a cable for my E-Mu Teaks. I've tried a couple off of AliExpress, but they all felt real loose in the jacks and had problems with intermittent connections. So, I'd like to branch out from the no-name manufacturers on AE and find something made by a reputable manufacturer. Problem is, 2.5mm TS seems to be pretty different to find. 2.5mm TRS could work in a pinch, but I'd prefer TS, and ideally they would have full-size soldering lugs. I don't mind a big, bulky connector.
Does anybody know where I can get a hold of some decent ones? Thanks!
Personally I'll choose option 2.One thing I can't decide on is between these options:
- 4-cores cable soldered into 2x 2-cores cables at the y-splitter, example Mogami 2893/2534 soldered into 2944/2552 (or something equivalent from Canare).
- Just use 2x 2-cores cables all the way, sleeving them together (twisted) before the y-splitter and individually after. Here I may want something not too thick, like Mogami 2944.
- Just use 4-cores cable all the way, but remove the shielding after the y-splitter and sleeve the 2 conductors together (on each side).
I think they will stay twisted if you twisted them properly but may be uneven (some part become more tight and some become loose) depend how you use/stored it.Also, if I go for option 2, when I twist the 2x 2-cores together, do I need to do something to ensure they won't untwist ? Or they will just stay twisted ?
