This is maybe warning or review or just mu view of low price ebay RCA plugs.
Neutrik RCA plugs should be decent quality for price, but it seems that ebay is not so good place to buy them or maybe not good place to buy any kind of good quality parts or I am misinformed about Neutrik quality 🙁
Here are the pics:
Now I know that this is too much pictures of same thing, but I could not resist to show you ebay quality 🙂
If you pay attention to details shown, and I wanted to show you all you will see:
plugged, unplugged, press fitting, gaps, small space on female to solder, wrong oriented center solder point on female rca, press fitted different materials on female rca, CHINA engraving 🙂 and more...
Now about ebay shop, I ordered part nubers Neutrik NYS372P-BG, NYS352BG from ebay seller audio-spares <--- LINK
I received NYS372P-BG as pictured, it is female rca in first look it looked like OK but later you see up.
And other instead of NYS352BG there was NYS352G but it is totaly different from google NYS352G. If google is to be trusted NYS352G should be just like BG but instead of black nickel plated like this one:
Notice difference in the RCA slots on this one against my received turbine like slots ?
I dont know is this good or bad, I see bunch of flaws and bad things on these plugs.
I will try to solder the gaps and wires with Mundorf Supreme silver/gold solder and perform listening test to complete this post.
I bought these plugs to terminate Audison double shielded 5 meters rca cable intended to use in the my car, connected to Pioneer P88RS HU on one side and Eyebrid 1y500 mono block AMP on the other side.
Dont have any other cable to compare in car, but can compare it with friends Oehlbach NF-214 interconnect 1 meter I think in his home setup = NAD CDP + Yamaha reciever + Monitor Audio RX6.
HUH !! This is longest post ever, I hope maybe helpful or informative to someone.
And I hope it is in right place on forums, if not sorry, please move it where it belongs.

Addition 1:
Seller have 100% rating and it is for reason 🙂 He informed me that this is genuine product but as it is pictured it is budget Neutrik line.
And for budget plugs and for the price this is pretty decent connectors if you compare them to real genuine Chinese crap 🙂
I think if I fill those gaps with some god solder and they dont fall apart during this they will be really nice plugs, and again for budget I recommend these.
In first I was expecting too much, but on second thought for a price of GBP 0.99 for one plug they are more than satisfying quality 🙂
