A little hard to tell. Does the shaft have a hole to fill with solder and the wire, or is it just a solid shaft? Assuming it's solid, what the best way to get a good connection?
This cheap ones that I posted (and have used), look like this one. Quite hard to get a good feeling connection. Also, 6.50 per pair from LunaShops or 5 pairs for $10 from eBay. Essentially the same plugs.
It's got a little dimple but not a hole for the wire. They were just fine for me the other one you have just suck I've tried them before and my soldering skills or equipment couldn't use them. The Eidolics are pricey but one touch and I was done. I always use a bit of flux just for insurance and tin a bit and it was a snap with the Eidolics the others it started to melt the spacers for me.
Can anyone recommend a decent 2.5mm connector, preferably mono (for use with an Oppo PM-2) that has both solder lugs and an extension on the plug so that the barrel doesn't but up against the cup?
Want something like this with regards to the extended plug part:
BUT I want good solder lugs to solder to. I guess I could even try 2.5 TRS plugs and figure out which combination of wires would work. Still, want good lugs and plug extension.

That little dimple is a solder cup and they work very well. As I have posted a few times I avoid the cylinder separated by plastic whenever possible (the type where the spacers melted).
Was wondering if some advice could be given to me for the construction of my IEM cable.
Should I have a total of 8 strands of wire soldered on the Jack, naturally 4 would go to the left and another 4 to the right.
Question is, whether the grounding (-) would be 2 out of the 4 cables on each side?
Or that I could use all 8 cables for L & R signals (+) and add in a thicker wire for grounding (-)?

You can do it either way, the first way is 2x2 and 2x2 that would make it total of 8....the second way is 4x1 and 4x1 then additional thicker ground 1-1 would make it 10 in total. Whichever way you prefer, it wouldn't matter. The problem is that you figure out the size you are using to go with accordingly for the second way. Unless you are using single ended then it could be 9 wires as only 1 ground joined

Wires has sizes, and in the US it is Gauge or (AWG) and else where is mm I believe. Basically, if your thicker grounding cables is the same size as the other 4-4, you are just fine.
Use this to figure it out. Normally they are printed on their body
