RCA cables for sx-6000?

[Slydog78]

I just scored an sx-6000 and the RCA jacks are so close together that almost none of my RCA cables will fit. Out of my big bin of RCA cables, the only one that’ll fit is a junky cable that came with something I bought years ago. Does anyone have recommendations for good quality RCA cables with narrow enough plugs that they’ll fit on the 6000’s jacks?

I could also use a recommendation for the old Pioneer speaker connectors that the 6000 requires. Mine only came with one set, but the receiver can accommodate three sets of speakers.

I used these on a SX-828 that has the same close together RCA.

Thanks! When I searched Amazon, these were the ones that stood out as contenders. Glad to get confirmation that they worked on something similar.

Just for fun, I made some RCA cables (and some 3.5mm interconnects), and plan to make more audio cables if I ever get time.
I used shielded microphone cable (Mogami). You could choose whatever plugs you'd like and I'm sure there are narrow ones.

This is the basic idea I followed:

The actual RCA plug is the same size whether it's a $3.99 Walmart cable or a $1500. a foot, Oxygen free, zippidy do dah, does everything but wipe yer back side and give you $0.9-1/2 change cable from one of the "Boutique" shops. The problem is the covering on the plug. (Bigger is NOT BETTER in this case). If the cables are not something you'd sleep with, trim the covering down. Nobody's gonna notice (unless she's extremely nosy and the neighborhood busybody) except you. Function over form here. Or build yer own, using bare plugs and cover with colored heatshrink (these will have space between them).

I also use those kabel direkt cables from amazon and they fit perfectly with an sx828

Switchcraft 3502a plugs and DIY the cables. I have the same problem on old tube gear. The spacing is just shy of 1/2" center to center and fat plugs simply do not fit.

What is wrong with the tiny Black & Reds that come with most gear?

no street cred.
