Martin,
I use Eichmann Silver Bullets on my interconnects and the cheapest I found them was from the Missing Link.
I have always found them to be robust (the silver bullets have metal jackets) and I also have reterminated cables with the standard bullet plug, which has a plastic jacket and found them just as durable.
They are also a doddle to solder and I have never understood some complaints I have read about the connector 'coming to pieces' when handled. There must be some extremely 'ham-fisted' individuals out there if this has really happened to them.
Incidentally, I really cannot understand all the vitreol and spite that is directed at The Missing Link adverts on the Hififorsale website. Anyone who has ever had any dealings with Mark Sears can attest that he is a very polite and interesting person to talk to and do business with.
It is my understanding that he pays for his advertising on Hififorsale and that this is a legitimate means of attracting potential customers to his products.
To my mind, it is like people who complain about things that appear on TV - there is always an option to turn off or in the case of adverts, ignore them if you do not like what you see/read!
Why people have to be rude and post crude counter-ads is beyond me.
A little kindness and respect for others costs nothing!!!!
