Anyone trust the quick connect cable ends that George L has ? I purchased one cable with these ends, and glad I checked it before I used it. The resistance was erratic ,and very high at times. I tried reworking it ,but still didn't get it to zero. I'll stick with soldered end cables.

I have no familiarity with the boutique cable/connector offerings. They've always seemed so overpriced that I've never bothered to even become familiar with them.
I like the old-school test equipment connections, like screw-down binding posts and screw-down banana plugs and banana jacks. Those are very easy to revise on the spot with a pocket knife if something should fail -- just cut the end off of the wire, strip it, and bolt it down. Simple connectors like Switchcraft phone jacks/plugs work well, but it's not as easy to revise them on the spot if they should fail, so you need to carry a spare cable. For me, speed and ease of repair with simple tools is an important consideration. YMMV."Stand back, I'm holding a calculator." - chinrest

I don't trust anything that ain't solder'd. I just don't....The farmer takes a wife, the barber takes a pole....Comment
