actually on second look; and thinking more about it, theat one and the cryoparts one seem subtly different with better dielectric; still havent used that one yet lee. but it sure looks nice; wasnt minimizing your mini before (hehe); just keep seeing similar internals with different barrels thas'all

re the viablue: yeah I figure that too, all the same it makes me a little wary. otherwise love'em really very nice minis; i'm sure my thoughts on them will be very positive again after I finish using the others I have and they work fine; just 1 out of 2 freaked me out a little

No worries, I didn't think you were. There are a lot of similar looking products out there as it seems that every connector company copies each other. That's why it is so hard to find a connector manufacturer that not only does good work, but actually builds things exactly to your spec.

Many have no problem with substituting cheap parts/metal/dielectric without telling the buyer/OEM customer. Long term relationships are really important when dealing with connector manufacturers as they are less likely to mess around with a long term clients order.

Sourcing goods in the new millennium, Caveat Emptor, indeed.

There are two styles of Pailiccs 3.5 mini plugs. This one and a rounder gloss black with a white rubber ring around it. They use to be hard to get but an ebay seller Awwan will sell the black and white ones to you if you ebay message him. the internals are identical but the bodies have a different curve to them.

One word - tight. Look sweet but it's hard to fit anything decent in there as it's ridiculously narrow ad the end of the barrel, stark contrast to their other one.

Hi guys, after some advice on the best 3.5mm plug for use with Mogami mini quad cable.

The Canare F-12 is nice, seems a bit expensive in AUS, and not sure if i'm fussed on that silver-white colour with a black cable.

Are the Neutrik NYS231 good enough? I probably prefer the silver version rather than black metal body.

Anything else to consider and where i can get it delievered to Australia @ the best prices?

Thanks,

Neutrik is best with my Canare Star Quad. Black of nickel? You choose, but depending on the diameter of the Mogami and any heatshrink you may want to use, you may need to dremel out the cable opeing a bit. I needed to when using Canare LE4E6 regular star quad. I ordered some smaller LE4E5C wich is Canare's mini quad but it's not shipped yet. I use alot of Mini XLR's so I need the smaller guage wire when I can get it.

I get them from Markertek, Full Compass, and Westlake.

Not a fan of Canare F12, pain in the butt to work with, NYS231AU is nice, but I think I prefer SwitchCraft 35HDNAU

 

[G-rig]

Thanks guys, i may try and get hold of the SwitchCraft 35HDNAU, looks like a nice connector. Will scratch the F-12 from the list, doesn't look stock enough for what i'm after either. (ps, the Mogami is 4.8mm).

Edit: if there are any suppliers here that wouldn't mind sending me a few of these SwitchCraft plugs, would be very helpful. Or direct me to a site that does international shipping.

 

[Good Times]

If you can't find a switchcraft supplier that will ship, you need help! Those or the neutriks are a dime a dozen.

 

[G-rig]

Well the trick is finding the switchcraft's cheap, as they are about $14.33 from Farnell (or $10.80 >10). Seem a lot cheaper in the US.

 

[Good Times]

Wagner are cheap, but I'd go US or UK and try for a place that stocks a few things you'll be getting for your cable, eg wire, sheath, solder etc. There's also an eBayer in NSW who sell the neutriks with free shipping on 10+. I'd send you one if I had any switchcrafts, if you want a nickel neutriks just let me know.

 

[G-rig]

A few searches showed the UK suppliers still quite expensive for the Swichcraft, and Wagner don't list it in their pdf. Anyway not really one place that has everything i want but Farnell will do this time for the plugs.

Thanks for that, will keep the neutriks in mind as well, they seem like a popular choice too.

 

[Bonthouse]

How about these if you're okay with international shipping? Cheap and fast
