Review on VizGiz Connector Gold Plated Soldering Replacement by Josh Valentino

They look nice and elegant but functionally they are terrible. I've done Trs repairs in the past and the ground wire has always had a crimp to hold the wire's outer insulation, but this product doesn't have such a retainer. All twists and twitches of the cable occur right at the solder joints and fail SUPER FAST. I tried to insert my own ferrule into the screw shell to prevent the cable from being pulled out but not twisted. I added hot glue but with such a tight space it was almost impossible to put the jacket on after applying the support glue. This is unacceptable if you never intend to touch the cord (perhaps like a stationary part of a stereo?). You sure do look good.
