What brand do you like to use for solder on RCA's? I recently saw a rack that had some nice looking RCA's with the screw off barrels but they didnt have any naming on them. I have seen some really expensive ones that are just too much where these were perfect, no too fancy but had a good build quality. These were soldered to speaker wire not coaxial.

Thanks,

I use the crimp ones, but Canare makes some nice solder connectors as well.

I use Switchcraft PPO58's wired with Belden 9451 twisted/sheild. That's what my commercial cohorts used en masse, so I got pretty good at soldering them fast. I think they're about $.90 each.
