Hi there!
Can somebody please suggest where to buy some rca plugs to turn a coaxial cable (Canare GS-6) to line level interconnects?
I would like something like the WBT 0108 without the price tag...
The 0108 has a screw for both the signal wire and the ground. This is exactly what I have in mind, but I can't afford them. Looking on ebay I can't seem to find an alternative - despite having been told there are some exact copies sold.
Locking would be another feature I'd like to have.
These are the cable characteristics in case it's needed.

Thank you!

Wow!
Thank you, this looks great as well...
I use Valab quite a lot, the Valab DAC, plugs, polyprop caps, he's normally quite quick. Except just before Christmas! I am about to order some more plugs, solder type, but if I wanted solderless I would buy his. His descriptions take a bit of deciphering, but that's normal for Chinglish.

To be honest, there's no need to look any further, these look well made, they provide exactly what I need, the price is fair. I' ll go on and order a set and see from there...
Another case solved!
I wonder if I could get a discount on my next purchase for recommending him? 😛To be honest, there's no need to look any further, these look well made, they provide exactly what I need, the price is fair. I' ll go on and order a set and see from there...

I also use his polyprop caps, they're not bad, if I have no room for PIO or teflon.
Somebody is kidding us on.
First we get linked to soldered RCA plugs.
Then we get linked to solderless RCA plugs that were >$26 and subsequently discontinued.

Which is which? As far as I can see, the Valab plugs are still available at $24.Somebody is kidding us on.

If you mean the earlier links, I can't see which ones are discontinued, but I can see some expensive ones.

Having received the Valabs I just wanted to say these connectors are GREAT!!!
One more question if I may...
Are there cheaper alternatives to the Valab?
I still need solderless RCA plugs, but not as expensive as these...

Yes, there are cheaper plugs, but I have found that the screws strip their threads on some cheap plugs. You get what you pay for - if you are lucky! You could try these- Audio Catalog I mean these - RCA-M02GS; remember you need 3 screws.
I have used him also, just ask for final price, including postage.

What is the issue with using solder rca plugs? Is it just that you don't want to solder, or is the screw connection better?

For various reasons I don't want to solder at home. One of them is that 3 babies are present in a pretty confined space...

I totally understand. I won't solder in the same areas my kids spend time in. Fortunately I have a basement for projects.
