I’ve been shopping around for a while trying to find one I really like. I‘ve especially liked Cardas and Furutech especially. Any brands or models you particularly like?
EDIT: Plugs! Big, long, phallic male plugs! For cables! But I realize I did not specify that at all, and posted on a forum about building amplifiers, so I can't complain 😛

Those are for cables. I assumed the OP wanted chassis jacks 😀
Same thing 😀😉
If you want chassis sockets , then search for same brand NYS367
He's not been very clear describing them as 'connectors' to be fair 😛

Sorry, you posted as I was typing!
When I'm trying to dress to impress, I use Vampire connectors.

I've heard that Vampire is out of production, with sales limited to the remaining stock,
which was bought out by PartsConnexion. Is that true?

Dunno if true but prices on Vampire have steadily been rising for many years. Lack of new stock sounds like a good explanation.
from Home | vampire-wire:
"pcX recently acquired all the remaining connector stock of SOUND CONNECTIONS (who recently closed their business, after 45 years). SC was the parent company of the VAMPIRE WIRE Brand of Connectors. VAMPIRE essentially invented the premium audio connector market back in the late 1970’s – using machined solid metal body’s, a pure Teflon dielectric & hard gold plating. These attributes all combine to form ruggedly built, and sonically superior connectors. pcX has been assigned all rights to these brands, and connector designs - and will continue offering a range of these connector products, moving forward."

I realize I have been less than clear... But I'm glad y'all are having fun anyway 🙂
I've tried the REAN connectors, but was not impressed, at least with the NYS373. I liked their chrome-bodied plugs more, but I tend to use thiccc cables, which they do not fit.
I do like Vampire, I will see you on that tip! I hope Parts Connection continues production. I like that the line goes from basic, cheap products up into premium and pricy stuff. Most brands pick one space or the other.
