After years of making my own DIY interconnects (plus an occasional Monster cable), I got motivated to try out some classier stuff. I've made my own Kimber PBJ type cables, which I guess is why I recently pulled the trigger on a pair of Kimber Timbres. I reminded myself NOT to mistakenly bid on balanced XLR cables, since my components are unbalanced.
So, of course, I won a pair of Kimber Timbres with balanced XLR terminations . . .
The price was pretty good, so I'm thinking of just unsoldering the XLRs and putting on some nice RCA connectors. Question is, which RCA plugs would be nice on Kimber Kable? I've looked through 14 pages of DIY cable articles here, until my eyes crossed, and I see where people mention Canare F9, F10; Neutrik; Audioquest; Switchcraft; and more.
What would you put on that is good enough to deserve to be on a Kimber Kable, yet would not be overkill on a 1.5M pair that only cost $100.00?
