Sorry... that's too far back for my attention span.  Markertek is still showing the metal bodied ones.

Me too. I talked about it like 50 pages ago. Though I had only one batch plastic Rean's. Somehow my local distributor still manages to sell metal one

Ok, got my stuff from them (order 2xT6s ViaBlue 3.5mm Plugs).  Shipping was fairly quick.  They messed up with one plug, and I didn't get the front set screw.  They quickly shipped out the screw and now I'm all set.  Nothing looks used in anyway.  I'd recommend them for a less expensive place to get your quality plugs. At $11.50 for the ViaBlue, its better than the $18 from where I purchased my others (without shipping).

Anyone ever order parts from this site?  Just want to check if they are reputable.

Neutrik/Rean has gone to plastic barrels?  Ppfffffttt!  I don't think I like that.  I used to use them because they had a nice metal body.  I also used to do the shrink tubing over their bodies... but I think the wood beads or something more decorative gives it a classier look.

 
I know the Rean mini is cheap, but not so cheap to deserve heatshrink over its neat casing, I think.

I think it depends on your aesthetic requirements / tastes. I like the shrink tube look and have used black tube over a r/a Oyaide body a couple of times. Not to everyones tastes, but it suits me.

Good thing that there's the Switchcrafts.  I can get them here in the US for bit more than NP3XB plugs.  Well worth it to me.

Wish oyade weren't so damn expensive... i'd buy them instead of rean in a heart beat.



Me too. I dont use them that often because of the price. If your after that style you can get pretty close copies from lunashops.com: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=1850
 
The quality is not as good as Oyaide, but its not too bad either.

This one looks like it will fit an Ultrasone.

i know. been thinking of trying them out, shipping is super slow though. i ordered a bunch of bananas for my receiver from lunashops and they work a treat. paillics are also a favorite, but i'd prefer to have a smaller dia near the trs. its hard finding plugs that fit my 4s Case and look good doing so.​

Received the 20 feet of "stranded 26 AWG Oxygen free copper Polyethylene clear" I had ordered. Seems nice, but I guess I had hoped it would be more flexible. 

Had some issues with PayPal for the transaction to the other seller I had ordered 20 feet from, so I can't compare them yet. I'm also waiting on the paracord to arrive.

I need to run 3 wires from each 3.5 mm jack (removable cable). How should I braid them (is there another way?)? I really have no idea.

3 wire cables, there is pretty much only one way to braid, as far as I know.

Is that 3 wires per L and R side? What is the cable for?
