I like the Dayton Locking RCA's. I use them exclusively. I think I have used about 15 packs so far and have another 10 left:D

Nathan,

Go to parts express click on connectors.. they have every
single connector you can think of... XLR,TRS,PHONO,SUB MINI,
F,MOLEX etc! :)


I had my order all ready for PE and I was going with WBT
Midline locking RCA's and once again I backed out.. Geesh
why can't I bring myself to spend $12.00 each for phono
plugs :)

I ordered 30' of 20awg pro mic cable (2 conductor + Sheild)
3 packs of Dayton Locking RCA's (that's 12 connectors...),
25' of Neon Blue Techflex 3/8", 25' of White Techflex 1/8",
2 Neutrix Femal XLR Connectors, 8 Monster Cable Cable Pants
and some other stuff.....


Ohh yeah.... Gettin ready to do some mad cable fabbin y0!
