Default Stinger rca cables

I have read many of the treads here on cables & was wondering do the stinger RCA cables really make a difference? Can you really hear the difference? I put some good quality rca cables on from amazon & they seem alright.

As long as they are shielded and soldered correctly you can't hear a difference. If you are serious about HiFi RCAs, make some, it is easy and always the perfect length.

Stinger cables are a great cable and price. I’d suggest not going any less quality than them due to the shielding and rca ends. They are built well.

Doesn't the yellow one go to the antenna? Seriously get a good set of rca's. Never been a fan of rca connections on a bike anyway do to all the vibration but it is the industry standard.

A dab of silicone on the outside of the connection AFTER the rca is slid on/connected and they will never come off until you take them off.

I'm glad you clarified AFTER it is connected. I will also clarify NOT SILICONE LUBE OR ELECTRICAL GREASE. Now days you have to be very specific here.

I personally liked the Stinger's because you can buy them in shorter length (and not have to find somewhere to stuff 6ft of wire at).

Lol, that was a last minute edit for that reason.
