The Via-Blue plug caught my interest it almost looks like you can connect it without soldering, is that right? If not, is there a plug you can mount without soldering?

Viablue requires solder.

just to check if it wasnt a confusion, the radiochack gold has screws, the vintage audio labs doesnt.

Yes i found out that but the radiochack gold was sold out when i checked out ebay. Will try again some other day.

might as well throw this up here too.   Parrots informed us today (see diy cable thread) that Viablue has come out with a smaller mini jack.. its the size of a neutrik.
here you can see the old large style next to a neutrik for reference.
 

from the left:
clip+, calrad trrs, neutrik, viablue, switchcraft, switchcraft rca, trrs from markertek, neutrik
 
the new viablue's can be purchased here, which incidentaly is the cheapest i have ever seen either size.
I have bought from these guys and they are awesome to deal with.. REEEEEEEEEAALLY quick shipping.

Any other online sites for buying Viablue that take PAYPAL?
