like I said, to each his own, I like the fact they are colour-coded...but, I do know this: ordered from that HONG KONG Site, never rec'd them in close to a month; ordered from the guy on uMay in Baton Rouge on Friday, Rec'd them yesterday...
THANK YOU for POINTING them out to me!!!
instead of throwing away the part that says "Nakamichi", which I like, goes with my tape deck, you can simply use Acetone to remove the wording and keep those parts without using "hear shrink" to Jerry rig a pretty wire...
The aluminum barrel ends are too fat for the wire and look funny. I don't think that they look jerry rigged, but to each his own.
