I think they are a very nice overall RCA. I use the Canare F-10 connectors. It has a teflon dielectric (the F-09 use polyacetal), and a nice nickel plated body shell that can accommodate small to large cables via the use or non use of the nickel plated strain relief. The gold plated plug though does not have the grip of death on connection - just regular. I don't know if that's good or bad or if that even affects the sound, but I couldn't tell. As for practical use, this may be good or bad depending on the diameter of the RCA jacks on your equipment. They are perfect for the jacks of my Sony ES cd player, but a slight bit loose on my Kenwood THX processor. I have a older set of Audioquest cables that gripped so tight, it ripped the jack off my equipment. The Canare's may have been designed that way on purpose to have reasonable release for pro sound studios ect. I also use Canare's RCAP-C4F 75 ohm RCA plugs for all my video cables which I think are the best for video and I think will work execellent for audio also. The plug uses several internal spring pressure type fingers which provide multiple points of good jack contact, while having easy release. The plug is a crimp type plug, the outer shield of your cable can only be crimped on, so use some Caig Pro Gold on your wire prior to crimping, however this will provide a perfect coaxial termination.
