Rich, I completely agree that it's ok that Neutrik breaks after many
years, because, as I mentioned before, other connectors are quasi
unusable, e.g. 'semi-connecting' a jack to get a connection is bad,
very, very bad. Yes, Amphenol is what we use here for kleine Tuchel
today. Hard to get and very expensive here.

I try to get something for homerecording that is reliable (not for a
job, hence I need to pay for it myself ;). You are not the first who
'exhorted' me that Neutrik still is the best, even while this issue is
well known.

The problem for me is, that I guess the plastic will break, even if I
should store some connectors for emergency cases, without using them.

For a professional studio exchange of old by new is a continuous
process, but at home those things get broken at the most worse time and
then there's no replacement at hand.

Btw. those Rean connectors are Neutrik:

But I've got no experiences with those connectors, here the Rean
connectors are not older than 2 month ;).

Thank you for your reply,

Ralf
