In Reply to: Anyone tried the new Johnson Audio RCA plugs? posted by chemist on December 7, 2006 at 17:08:30:
................. but if I had to make a guess, I would say they are sourcing from Neotech in Taiwan. The old Neotech website had photos of their connector range which the Johnson range looks similar too (with the addition of the Johnson logos, etc.) but the new Neotech website doesn't show connectors. They are also using a lot of cable configurations which look like Neotech designs, some of which use OCC copper which Neotech is licenced to produce (one of two factories in the world). I guess, like with all things, time will tell.
Follow Ups:
Basslines, thanks for the info. Supposing they are made by Neotech, how good are the Neotech plugs supposed to be?
......................... of which there are few, nothing remarkable. There have been a few reviews over the years of Neotech products, mostly from the UK and Germany. None of them were ever more than 3 stars out of 5. I think Neotech, like so many Asian producers, have failed to establish their own brand name and continue to exist as a supplier to western companies. The plugs don't seem to be any different than most base metal or brass plugs with a gold flash. Sonically, they are up against a high bar as Eichmann Bullets and WBT Nextgen are hard to beat.
basslines, are the Cardas SRCA in the "base metal or brass plugs with a gold flash" category (sorry, I'm a newbie)? I'd considered the Eichmanns (same price as the Cardas), but my cable is 9.4 mm OD, and the Eichmanns accomdate only 9 mm (the Cardas accomdates 9.5 mm). WBT does make a plug that fits my cable -- the Topliine 0150 -- but at $35 per plug it's 3.5X as much as the Cardas and Eichmann (and, with 5 pairs to terminate, outside my budget). Or to put this all more simply: other than the Johnson, the Cardas SRCA is the only plug I've found that will fit both my cable and my budget (~$10/plug). Is the SRCA a good plug sonically, or should I keep looking?
