those are really sexy


haha, it is. I like spinners. :)

So far as for looks, this particular Pailiccs is my favorite.



Those look great too. I've always liked straight housings though. They make me think of a certain type of modern look that is almost high tech futuristic.

I am having a B**** of a time finding some SMC connectors to possibly re-do my canare cable. Does anyone know a REAL site that works? The links here aren't getting me anywhere, and ebay is not really a preferred option. I can't find any on there anyway. 
 
Also, anyone know the specs of the proper SMCs for the headphones? I can't imagine '50 ohm' impedance is desireable!

Why is ebay not preferred? Just curious.

Quick eBay search provides...

This place sells nothing but RF connectors.

The connectors don't have any impedance, the coax does.

Wow. That's cheap, but I'd prefer a more well known store if possible.  I can't even find it on bbb.org.  :-/
 
p.s. damn that camaro is sexy.

   Just ordered the Furutech FT-735(R) Rhodium plated phone plug from Take Five. Let's find out what is special about this plug. :)

They seem well built and are probably my favorite looking plug ever, but $25 (before shipping) is a large pill to swallow for a single plug. 
 
Excited to see your final product.

Well I am with you but this hobby slowly drains my wallet. :)
 
I need a different color (for my LOD) from all these plugs I have, so I decided to go with a quality one.
