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:
1. http://www.eichmanncables.com/home.htm
2. http://www.uhfmag.com/Issue63/interconnect.html

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.

I use these connectors on the 47 Labs OTA cable (because the OTA connectors are easily broken and difficult to get a contact with). The connector is very easy to work with, just follow the directions very carefully on the Eichmann website, especially the part about heating the casing and using minimal solder- less is more in this case.

I believe the bullet plugs to be the next best thing when compared to the OTA connector. The OTA connector is more transparent (because there is no solder or disimilar metals) but will only work with very thin solid core cables (27 gauge?), and is about $15.00 per connector.
