Thoriated_Tiger Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 The announcement earlier here about AA selling these off prodded me to get two pair. I was half-expecting the pretty RCAs *not* fit my amp.. and i was right. It could be forced, but it's not nice to force a 40-something year old machine into anything.. Queried AQ (jeez, they have to have *the* fastest email response i've ever seen!).. they won't reterminate, no 'narrow-barrels' for them. So.. Vampire? El-Cheapo RatShack? What'd fit this amp's very tightly-spaced inputs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I seem to recall that bettercables.com use to make interconnect cables with slim profile RCA connectors. You could contact them through their web site and see if that option is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Best Buy sell AR cables (acoustic research or audio research?). They are blue with narrow barrels. I use them with my scott in tight places. Inexpensive but pretty decent cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoriated_Tiger Posted October 13, 2004 Author Share Posted October 13, 2004 Actually I was thinking of reterminating the aq wire -- I wanted to take a step above radioshack and monster. Instead, I filed one side of each barrel flat. It's soft brass, a bastard flat file did short work of it. Looks neat, even. All I had to remove was about .5mm from each barrel, now it fits comfortably. So far I like what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
