ETI CODA Connecteurs RCA Argent Pur Ø11mm (Set x4) - avis - Il y a 1 avis.

huge disappointment for its price
Price: currently (sept 2026) Audiophonics asks €300 for 4 connectors, which is about €100 cheaper than other dealers
Packaging: nice box, however no instructions, leaflet or description of the contents
Body: sturdy and nicely polished, with good quality cable clamp
Pins: nice hollow central pin; no surface coating, so direct exposure of the soft silver; slight dark discoloration due to the formation of silver sulfide
Dielectric 1: black plastic that liquifies and boils away during soldering with ROHS/Pb-free Mundorf Msolder Supreme @ 300C thereby displacing the pin; solution → use a rca socket to keep everything in place during soldering; sorry to say, but in my opinion this is unforgivable for such an expensive plug
Dielectric 2: my ETI Brio XLR connectors have ptfe as dielectric, and melting has never been an issue; my WBT plugs and sockets also don’t have ptfe as dielectric, but melting has never happened
Sound: punchy and natural, like silver always does when the proportions are right; however, I’m not impressed by the small increase of spaciousness when compared to my WBT-0201 plugs
My personal conclusion: for €300 I’d expect at least a better dielectric; sound-wise I’m not very impressed
