It did come with that part. I didn't think it was sufficient since I'm used to seeing metal clamps like the ones from RCA jacks. I guess it should be enough. Thanks for your help guys.
Price doesn't always matter. I bought the $0.89 neutrik connectors and my cables are tough and sound perfect. I'm a musician myself and recording engineer of sorts. I wouldn't use anything that would sacrifice quality, and the neutriks of all kinds are great,,,The metal clamps common in RCA jacks are actually pretty terrible, the chuck Neutrik uses will clamp down evenly on the cable very tightly and ensure it doesn't budge.
There's a reason Neutrik is the choice for professional audio and video, they're tough and rarely fail, unless you run them over with a lift or something, that usually ruins stuff.
So this is a picture of plussound cable. I'm sure many of you will recognize it. They are both 8-strand braids, but I was curious if anyone is familiar with the bottom braid that is silver/black? I rather like the look and wouldn't mind doing that one my next cable.
What benefit is this geometry ?
The amount of cable options is just overwhelming! There needs to be a section that lists like the top 10 budget cables for DIY.
I'm only really looking at Mogami and Canare on Redco. Should I be looking at quad microphone cable or snake cable?
There are really only four that people commonly use. Depending on what youre doing its just Canare or Mogami Star Quad or their two conductor cable.
