WBT nextgen RCA connectors
« on: July 10, 2009, 06:35:11 AM »
  Hearing a lot of positive comments about these babies. Not cheap about $128 / pair. Some say like adding a new component. Veils being lifted and so on. Anyone here tried them yet ?

I have some WBT jacks, but not really evaluated them yet, using on the Behringer DCX analog inputs.   We are working on Sol's i60 integrated, he wants to get the inputs off the chassis, so we will be checking out the Vampire, WBT and DHLabs jacks.  Jacks don't cost $64 each at PE, at least not when I bought them.  Maybe some exotic metal plated version?

I just completed a direct test of the WBT 144's against the DH Labs Ultimate. Overall they were very close, with perhaps a slight edge to the DH Labs. They could be just a tad more open. Build quality and even design is very similar to the eye.

DHLabs is pure copper, and WBT is standard on the upper level JPS wires we all love so much.  Good stuff.

WBT and DH Labs also make nice jacks, that's what I thought you were talking about.
