Recommend an RCA connector

For years I've on occasion made clones of the Rega Couple interconnect- Klotz GY-107 cable (aka Lagrange) and Neutrik Profi plugs. I think with the Profi one is paying a lot for the ground first contact scheme. Switching cables with the system powered down makes that unnecessary.

I'm going to make up another batch- but I would like to use a less costly connector than the Profi (it would be about $34 per set of cables). I'm planning 3 pair of cables and I don't want to spend $100 on the RCA's.

Any suggestions? I need 12 male RCA plugs and would like to top out at $50 or so- I do want connectors that will not compromise sound-

Thanks

With the Neutrik Profi, you have one of the best RCA connectors, and at a
comparable bargain price. For example, WBTs (the real ones, not the
crappy Chifi knockoffs being flogged out to the unsuspecting) don't come
cheap.

In this hobby, you live the two irrefutable paradigms:
(1) everything is built to it's pricepoint; and
(2) you get what you pay for.

If you really expect to step down to your indicated new
"cheap" price point, and you still expect to meet (forget about
exceed IMO) the performance and build quality of the Neutrik Profi, and
somehow defy Or ignore these facts.... Good luck to you.
