Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Correct

The most expeditious method:

1. Loosen the locking barrel just a bit, but not enough for the barrel to become detached from the connector body.

2. Push the center pin of the connector into the rca jack slot until the connector is fully inserted into the jack.

3. Firmly grasp the back of the rca connector (the cable entry point of the connector body) with one hand, then with the other hand gently tighten the barrel counter-clockwise, just until the barrel does not *wiggle*.

Avoid tightening the barrel any more than this, since it's counter-productive to do so. Any more torque than that simple factor can actually degrade performance, IME.
