I have compared the Bullet plugs directly to Cardas's top of the line RCA's on Silversmith Audio IC's. As a caveat, Silversmith replaces the "cheesy" plastic body with a fancier one. With that said, the cable with the Bullet Plugs was superior in terms of performance, particular in resolution of detail and authority in the midbass to lower midrange region. I wouldn't call the differences "night and day", but they were noticable, and given the price of the connectors, unquestionably worth the expense. (Since I did not have to install the connectors myself, I cannot say whether the added aggravation in reterminating your IC's is worth the effort).
Any experiences with Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs
Some of you may have read recent articles about the re-designed RCA plugs from Australia, the Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs (most unfortunate choice of names if you are Jewish or remember the Holocaust...). These plugs have gotten some excellent reviews in HiFi+ mag, Ultra High Fidelity, etc. For more info about this RCA plug, check out the following Web links:

I was wondering if any of our members have had personal experience with this RCA plug. I am specifically interested in learning about whether it is difficult to install these puppies on your own interconnects (or whether this should be done by a dealer), how they "sound" (particularly compared to other high-end RCA's, such as WBT's, etc.).
Brooklyn Audio, one of the main dealers here on Audiogon, is selling these RCA's for $36 for a set of 4, which strikes me as a very reasonable price if the plugs perform as advertised.
I am thinking about buying a set of 4 to try on the interconnect between my preamp and power amp. Any comments / input would be welcome.
