Re: do different rca connectors make difference in sound?

Potentially Yes. According to IEEE standards audio interconnects should have 50 ohm impedance. While 50 impedance coax wire is available 50 ohm impedance RCA connectors are difficult to find. Using wrong impedance RCA connectors will change the overall impedance of the interconnect. Mismatched impedance of the interconnect will cause signal reflection that can affect audio quality. At least that's the theory. Whether one can discern the difference is another story.
