Cheap locking RCA plug (pix added)

[funch]

I was just over at Homegrown Audio and found this:

Homegrown Audio Co. | pure silver audio cables - Specials

FWIW

Just got mine in.







The cable entry looks to be pressed in. I thought it might be removable, but it won't budge. The opening is 6mm; just right for Mogami Neglex 2549 cable.
The thread action isn't the smoothest, but for the price, they're hard to beat.

Nice. Looks like 1/2 price off of the Dayton (Parts Express) price for similar plugs.

 

[funch]

Exactly what I was thinking. I just ordered 20 of 'em. I'll post a couple of pix when they arrive.

^ er, this is pretty obvious, but is it 2.25 PER rca plug, or for a pair

Nice price.

Am I the only one who hates locking plugs and avoids them like the plague?

I've recently learned that I hate them too......

Pain in the ass to get off of my MMH.

Pix now added.

BTW, the insulator seems to be Teflon. It doesn't melt.

No offense at all Funch. The ones I have used work fine they are just a pain in the ass to get loose from the RCA jacks. Hope the ones you just got work better.

They sure look purtey.

Lockings a pain, but it's more better.

Thanks for the bringing this up OP. I got 12 of them.
