Have never had experience with PS Audio Transcendent I/Cs, but you might try heating them up with hair "blow" dryer.
RCA interconnects
So, I just received PS Audio Transcendent interconnects. Problem is, I cannot get them to mate with my equipment! Short of destroying the equipment or one's hands, how do you soften these suckers up so they will mate? Is there some trick anyone has discovered that will soften the clamping power? What is the trick?
