HiFi related question so stop reading of not interested.
If you are and have reached here, then I am in the need of 8 Nordost Z plugs.
Asked around and since the Nordost UK distributor has goner bust, not so easy to find. I do not think sending cable over to US to have some plugs
fitted is sensible.
Also not convince that Z plugs are the nuts but it makes a difference to resale price.
Anyways, if you know who sells and has them in stock, in UK or abroad then lemme know.
And does anyone know how they are fitted? are they just crimped on or is soldering involved - the plugs are covered in heatshrink so not easy to tell
although I'll take a closer look.
I am of the belier that this specific plug business is a load of BS so very likley use some other brand of plugs.
Yep BS; just use good quality conectors (gold plated; PTFE insulation etc, CPC do this kinda stuff at a good price..
No idea where to get the real ones though..

If you like paying through the nose for a bit of bling then maybe try:

^^^ HiFi gear no longer sell them.
who or what are CPC?
CPC = cheap version of farnell (electronics supplier).
Look at:
http://cpc.farnell.com/
I guess you will want something like:
and

tors/product.us0?sku=unbranded-spc-425-b-12-1330
Or
http://cpc.farnell.com/CN00621/cable-wire-connecto
rs/product.us0?sku=unbranded-bp-100g-34-3460
These look a bit like your Z plugs if you don't use the plastic bit but only solder and heat shrink sleeving (in fact I think this is what they
are?):

s/product.us0?sku=mc-multi-contact-20488-4
Personaly I think they are pants connectors (they are pressed out rather than machined from a solid, and are hence rather thin)..
I use:

duct.us0?sku=unbranded-bp-30g-rt
Any way your millage may vary.. Just my ideas!
Cheers
