 First I am not sharp on cables so I will try and be simple. No choice.
Looking for inexpensive RCA jacks to connect on my Dynaco Pas 3X preamp.
It is so tight back there with trying to use every slot, looked on Amazon.com what would look for size wise, got to be slim so I can use all my slots just bought a new phono preamp but have to give up one of my pcs of equipment to use it so if anyone had experience with this situation please help me on size number 3.5 I don't even know how to look for proper size I know I sound out of my league because I am but thought I would give it a shot here any help appreciated sorry for the lack of proper termanology. But I love music so I will search.

 Do you mean narrow rca plugs or pre-made audio cables with narrow rca plugs?

 I mean pre-made audio cables with narrow as thin as possible rca plugs so I have room to Fit those rca plugs next to each other you know how close those vintage pre amps didnt leave room for todays rca cables.
Thanks I hope that was more clear.

This Canare interconnect cable with narrow-profile Switchcraft rca connectors should be a good lower-cost option for use with vintage Dynaco gear.

See link:

 I changed the female jacks on the chassis of my early CJ pre (PV1 case) and it made a pretty huge difference along with removing the internal wiring to the AC outlets on the back.

The RCA change would require drilling. I just changed the aux for my CDP and the phono in and the pre out.

I think you are near me. DC region?You buy the stuff and we can do it. No charge. Would be fun for me. I should be back home soon. If you have good enough RCA interconnects I can reterminate the one end for the Dynaco too. That would be at a small cost for the Switchcraft or narrow Neutrik RCA plugs.

Let me know.
