In Reply to: DIY mil-spec DC umbilical posted by Duster on April 18, 2015 at 17:35:03:
I'd never seen that type of DC female plug before I noticed them in your post. You didn't say what they were, but I eventually found out they are CCTV DC plugs. The external screw terminals seem to allow the use of heavier gauge wire than the typical internal solder (inside the barrel) type. Are there any you've found which you consider of better quality than average?
I'd like to upgrade the umbilical on the DC power supply to my Graham Slee Reflex X phono stage, (Belleson SuperPower regulator already installed) and those CCTV plugs look like they'll work well.
