Sorry to rain on your parade

I think you have done an excellent tutorial, but copper Bullet plugs do oxidize very fast. I have found out that most ICs made with copper Eichmans sound etchy and grainy, IMHO.
I would rather use Vampire OFC plugs or the Silver bullet.
I have copied a link to one of your pictures that shows a badly oxidized connector.
I bet you will hear a major improvement if you clean the plugs every few weeks.
The Emperor's new clothes...It's time someone pointed out this Eichman nonsense. ANY Vampire OFC or WBT RCA plug will beat an Eichman copper plug anytime, IMS, IMHO.

Peace...
Notice to trollers: please respond ONLY if you have actually invested your money to compare RCA plugs. I did and and have the spare parts cemetery to prove my point.
enjoy the music
