Quality Connectors

Guys, I've finally gotten a bluetooth-based signal across my living
room - Sony-to-Sony, going TV out to headphone.

But the %&!@ stereo connectors - those 25-cent gadgets - are pure
qurappe, and contact at the headphone end is a frustrating hit-or-miss
adventure. Mostly Radio Shack stuff.

Any sources of quality connector pieces around? Ones really built to
close spec's? Thanks, all.

For the most part RS connectors are low on quality and often surprisingly
high priced. They sell on the basis of convenience, not quality

There are fairly reasonably priced audio connectors that conform to the
usual consumer standards.

You can find them at pro audio suppliers such as Markertek. One good brand
name to look for is Neutrik.
