Email Post Number: 2884 Registered: Nov-05 | well it is not really about RCAs but about female RCA connectors.. my RCA from my truck to my car was too short so two RCAs are joined to make it longer.. right now it is ghetto rigged as it has been since the install but they are just cheap radioshack female barrel connectors.. i've had no problems until recently when they were disconnected but since I'm messing with them now i want to get something worthy or holding my RCAs together.. what is the difference between the 24k connectors vs. something like the knukonceptz ones.. i'm thinking about order 1) .. unless someone can tell me why the 24k are worth it 1)http://cgi.ebay.com/KnuKonceptz-Krystal-Female-RCA-Barrell-Connector-PR_W0QQitem Z220075380754QQihZ012QQcategoryZ94845QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem 2)http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=091-1030 |

I also doubt you could tell any difference by ear. Is all for presentation. It looks better cause of gold, so you automatically think it sounds better. I'd buy the gold plated cause it's only $1 more. Not like it's going to kill your wallet anyhow. |

RCAs are not high voltage so why get over-kill.. i really don't care i just need some lol so thats one vote for gold  |

The only way it'll have any effect would be if it were rusted pretty badly (will not happen unless you drive underwater often). $2 could get you 2 extra burgers at Mc Donalds' value meal. |
