Looking for good interconnects for narrowly spaced jacks
I just had my old Dual 1229Q professionally restored. The RCA jacks internally are spaced about 3/8" from center of the jack to the other. The smallest RCA jacks I have seen on quality RCA interconnects require jacks spaced about 1/2" apart. Does anyone know of any that are small enough for this application? Not looking for megabuck interconnects, just decent shielded ones. I am not looking to change out the RCA jacks on the Dual. Thanks!
@audphile1 I am running only high output cartridges. @ted_b Thanks again. I am not a DIY guy, but I could have cables made for me. @dtorc Funny you should mention Pine Tree. I asked him before my post. He didn't have anything narrower than 1/2", but I will ask if he can use the Switchcraft plugs on one end of his phono interconnects.
@robert53 I have a few pairs of Monster Cable from around 2002, but the plug barrels look much thicker than what I need. |
If you don’t find some, I also recommend Pine Tree Audio. I would measure the center to center (edge to far edge is the same as center to center), and the gap between them, in MMs right angle adapters can let you use cables you already have, they rotate on the jack to allow different entry angles for adjacent cables, and if needed you can grind/file an edge so they fit side by side. These are metal, plastic covered ones would be easier to shave a corner/modify if needed.
Amazon, order a few that look like they might work, keep one, return the rest https://www.amazon.com/Right-Angle-Rca/s?k=Right+Angle+Rca

@elliottbnewcombjr thanks! These may be the solution! |
