I just got a set of these in the mail today. Minimalist design with a single point ground connection inside a nylon barrel. Gold plated tellurium copper. A silver plated version is also available. Ebay seller shipped from Taiwan in nine days. Ebay link below.

I may try these with Jupiter wire or some UPOCC copper wire in a very simple design.

 I have used these from VAL. They are ok but I prefer the kLE Harmony plugs. Double the price however.

 

They don't sound anywhere near as good........, posted on January 10, 2016 at 12:16:31

 .....as the KLEI plugs, which incedently don't sound as good as the original Bullet plugs. Cheap, but not much of an improvement over common brass plugs. Proves that any body can copy something.

 

Actually, they sound much better..., posted on January 10, 2016 at 20:30:25

 Interesting... my experience is that the KLE Harmony RCA is definitely better than the Bullet RCA and the same guy (Keith Louis Eichmann) designed the Bullet & Harmony RCA, so the KLE Harmony RCA is definitely NOT a copy Bullet RCA. From my experience it is an enhancement of the Bullet, in every way! To say that the KLE Harmony is a copy, is ridiculous!

For example, I found a big improvement with the Copper Harmony RCA over the Bullet RCA. The Copper Harmony RCA is much more detailed, open, and dynamic. The bass information is more "narrow/tighter" and does not "bleed over/smear (become diffused)" like it does with the Bullet RCA...

 I would attack those with a file in a discrete location. The last "gold plated over copper" plugs I bought from Taiwan were gold tone wash over brass.

I can't speak for the poster, but it appears to me that he was referring to the Star Line plugs (not KLEI) when he used the above phrase ... "Cheap, but not much of an improvement over common brass plugs. Proves that any body can copy something."
