do you say new-trick or noy-trick?

99% of the plugs I've got on my cabling are Neutrik, (or RS-branded Neutrik clones which seem exactly the same), but its cost me a small fortune so far since they're about £3 each here. I could have bought a small synth for what they've cost so far.
Got a 10-way loom the other day with Neutrik Rean plugs on it, they look solid, and the bodies are slimmer which helps a bit in the patchbays. We'll see how it goes.

sorry, messed this up.
Wanted to post short and long version simultaneously.
This short version alone doesn't make too much sense.

Oh well, tabbed browsing and dumb operator ...

Lol,

no trick

seriously, just dawned on me what you really meant :
Since they're based in Switzerland (everybody say cheeeese

) I'd say noy-trick, probably.
Sorry for the initial misunderstanding,

I was genuinely curious, for years I referred to the 70s German band Neu! as New but then saw a documentary where people said 'noy'.

Apologies to the Germans for my utter ignorance of your fine language.

Neutrik are from Liechtenstein, where there are more registered companies than there are citizens.

I love the clicky/clunk feel as you push them home.

That's why they only build these small thingies ...

Not enough room for a big factory there.

Lol,

sorry about the Switzerland confusion.

the banks are big though.

the times I have wrestled with 1/4 in. jacks, too loose, too tight, suddenly come out after seemingly being araldited in there, slip and smash something. Or it is so loose, you have to give it a nudge to make contact and say a prayer.

Neutrik charge alot for the perfect design.

My favourite hate-thing

with many 1/4" plugs, even expensive ones : when the press-fit of the tip starts getting loose, producing crackles and contact issues - Neutriks or ReAns just don't do this.
