Satie after careful consideration i have decided to go with the Parts Express Locking solder type connectors http://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-audiophile-locking-rca-connector-2-pair--091-1065 as I already own 4 of them, so cost is a factor and I think the quality is sufficient. The only complaint I have seen on these is a lack of instructions, and 8.3mm cable jacket requirements, but with the twinax I don't think that is a problem. Belden has one, if this is what you are referring to http://www.parts-express.com/belden-brilliance-8412-20-awg-2c-mic-line-instrument-cable-tinned-copper-braid-shield-per---102-1250 If you check the connectors out they have a "tang like" connector for the ground, so I assume that one would compress this on the shield? Perhaps you might offer some advice there. If these are not workable then I move to the Neutrik Profi or the screw type that you recommended, but that means the cost goes up. With the mods to the DCX I need to keep the cost down while seeking the best bang for the buck. I like the SPC twinax 20 AWG but I don't need the "bright side" as my setup tends to be on the bright side. I think something smack dab in the middle of the spectrum would suit me better as far as cabling goes. Have you ever used the Canare LT2S? http://www.canare.com/ProductItemDisplay.aspx?productItemID=57 This was highly recommended on The Home Theater Shack cable tutorial. Any further feedback would be greatly appreciated of course. You can also be assured that by the level of advice I have received here that i will do my best to participate in this forum and hopefully pass on some of what i have learned over the years by experimenting and talking with you guys. I love this place! :)
