I look for cheap alternatives because xhadow, wbt... are tooo expensive.
But if noobody have no idea...i will try myself.
I will also buy 4 pcs best rca male and female (Must be ultimate resolutive), because i will also want to try some good wires...result.... best cheap interconnect....rca, cable, binding post... that i was mentioned in 1 post.
I hoped that here will be writing members who want to get excellente sound for small price. And have also tried different connectors wires...and tell what have they found out.
Cables connectors are one important piece of ....one hell of a good cake 🙂

And what about the thermocouple and millions of microscopic rectifiers, formed by the different metals contact of the connector male and female part? Even the metal oxide layer could play a part here, think about metal oxide semiconductors. All in microscopic dimensions. No connector is perfect.

You theorize about things which might be happening at submicroscopic levels.

Well, they might, or might not, the fact is that they are inaudible, thus irrelevant.

I state that those effects if existent, are included in the sub 0.1 ohms contact resistance between clean metal surfaces.

OP - sorry, cannot help you. For non-critical applications i use gold plated brass and for critical - branded stuff. I think all the Chinese connectors claiming to be copper are brass and some of them sound bad beyond belief.

For nearly everyone else on this thread - what the hell is wrong with you guys? Do you have to spam every single thread? Does anyone really want to know whether you can hear connectors? Is it the economics? Too many early retired engineers with nothing better on their hands but proudly proclaim their deafness to the world?

Instead of the delusional promoting their beliefs and so giving the wrong message to those wanting to really learn what is critical in audio reproduction, things have to balance, you need the deodorising replies to counteract the smell of BS.

I am in same boat ; up to date the WBT crimp(0108/208) are my reference (now out of production). Like you I am looking for good sounding at reasonnable price. Must be crimp , copper(not massive brass) silver plated instead of gold one (anyway there is no gold there, only color).

I never leave Kontakt 61 on surface.
I spray it ...leave to deoxide dirt. Then clean with isoprophyl and at the end with dry with cotton wool for ears. Or with compressed air.
Heavy oxided contacts or switches i first polish with car polish(without silikons and waxes.... )

Kontakt 61 is not cleaner but lubricant which protects contacts and should be left on(for higher signal levels). Kontakt 60 is a cleaner for dirty and oxidized contact and should be removed by Kontakt WL solvent. Audio contact should be dry . I suggest you to carefully read Kontakt instruction manuals which you may find on their site.

I have red one
Kontakt 60 😉

That is an agressive (and somewhat conductive) stuff, used for removing heavily oxyized debris. After treatment you have to wash it thorougly with Kontakt WL, and then apply a thin layer of Kontakt 61. The latter provides a neutral protective layer.
There is nothing about the 1V lower limit on my can. We used it in the instrument service lab for oscilloscopes, DMMs, repairing scratchy variable resistors...
I heard Cramolin CONTACLEAN gives the same result.

Oops, sorry Kamis for repeating you...

I don't believe different connectors etc sound different, but I don't see any point arguing about it. Everybody believes what they choose to believe (including me), and no amount of internet argument is going to change those beliefs.

It's just tiresome when threads degenerate into "I hear it", "no you don't", "yes I do", (repeat for 500 pages).

Yes it is tiresome, but it is also tiresome when some new audiophile phenomena is proclaimed with no proof. When views are put up that are doubtful why shouldn't these views be questioned, this is what democracy is all about.
I have said there are many real issues in audio, yet so much space is wasted on unproven beliefs and way out ideas that obscure the real problems and makes Audiophiles open to ridicule from the wider community....

Depends what you challenge the truth with . Seems to me all i have read is people challenging opinion with opinion !!!!!

It is a truth that all that is cannot yet be explained . And most people appear to be clinging to a scientific method of explanation ,namelyt explanation having its power through predication and repetition. A little OTT for HIFI forum . Most products are available on a return basis in the uk .

Works for you , doesnt work for me , so what ? Suck it and see .
