I'm wondering if anyone used the industrial standard 2RM-type of connectors for a DIY Lo MC phono connection?

The smallest is 2RM14 with 4 pins, 1mm dia so pretty low mass--no big diameter jump along the phono signal.
Pins are silver-over brass but what the fuck, it's only 1mm dia x 10mm in total of an interuption.now compare that to
a classical high mass RCA link...

As for shielding, good luck with that, too.  I hate to say it, but un-shielded cable consistently "sounds better" than shielded --- apart from the noise, of course. 


THis is probably due to capacitive coupling shield-signal wire. What I have in mind is to use a PTFE foam tape to get some distance between
the wire and the shielding braid:

Anyone any experience with it in DIY cables?

Cheers,

PS Even smaller type of connectors PC:
