Good for you. Your experiment turned subjectively to a success. Congrats. Any pics?
Thanks, I'm quite happy with the results. Pics will follow soon...complete with the bad connectors. Maybe some heat shrink around the connector will alleviate that problem of them coming apart.
For all that are following, I ordered some of Vampire's base RCA plugs (about $15 for a set of 4) to try the solder method and compare. At the least, they will not compare apart in two pieces like the compression connectors.
I also did some more listening, but this time through my Spica TC-50s. Again, I get a good impression of acoustic guitars coming through and a tad bit more bass.
Here's something interesting. Last fall I changed the spade connectors on my Kimber 4TCs. When I stripped the teflon insulation, I could tell oxidation had set in. So I cut 2 inches...the same! So now I'm curious to see if the same thing is happening to my PBJs! Perhaps oxidation of the copper has started and having an affect on the sound.
The Belden center conductor was very nice and shiny, of course. More comments to come (and photos).
