I was looking at some cheap and very cheerful RCA plugs, I'd picked up from RS. These plugs retail at about 25p each, and come in packs of 25 red or black. So there I was sitting in the design and development centre [shed] the rain was pouring down outside. I suddenly though why not improve the little devils, then how can I improve them. Well this is what I done..... Ground connection 1 slice of three of the four flanges that make the earth connection. 2 cover the last one with heat shrink 3 Run a silver wire in PTFE sleeve along the out ide of the plug and remaining insulated flange, bend the wire over the end to it fits snug, and heat shrink around the body to hold in place. 4 Ground is now madeby soldering to the PTFE insulated wire. Signal pin 1 cleaned and polished 2 a silver wire is run throgh the hollow pin and bent back over the pin by about 5 mm. When inserted the silver wire contacts the tube in the RCA socket. How do they sound, well different but not as good as the bullets, but thier now closer than many other plugs I've used.
