Hello,

I need to make up a new IC cable for my CRS+. Does anyone know a source for these pin/blade connectors? I don't want to change the connector in the cup at this time, so bananas or RCAs are out.

    I'm in the same boat, I do not want to use anything but the original pin/blade socket. I just don't like any of the other choices. I have looked and looked for those connectors and there's nothing out there that's a perfect match. However, I recently spoke with a member here about the possibility of making some new pin/blade connector heads, so stay tuned.

    Perhaps if more interest was shown by the members here this could move forward at a faster pace, so thanks for bringing it up.

    Is it possible if you have a old pin blade cable too take it apart and connect new wire or cable too them?

    It's impossible. The plastic head is molded around the pin and blade, cutting it open ruins the whole thing.

    That is why I asked. I am at work so there was no way I could take a look at it.
