Gents;
Where might I buy B&O plugs, please?

Hi Iverson,
I usually buy these at Conrad - at least you have the specs :-)

Thanks Guy!
As well as working out cheaper (as my plugs are priced for a pack of 4), I also include a wiring chart for Powerlink cables (all three versions) and unlimited technical support and advice is also included in the cost.
Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve, these from Conrad look sturdier, with the metal casing, but am I right to assume that sound-wise that does not make any difference from the plastic ones your offering? Cheers
Beosound 5 Encore + Beosystem 5500 + S45.2; BV7-40 MKV + BL7.1 + BL14.4+ AppleTV4; various link rooms with MCL2 A or MCL2 A/V + RL60.2 / CX100 / CX50 & Cona / IWS2000; BG4000; Beosystem 1200 + BV1600.
Hi MJBeo,
My plugs have a metal inner case, so the strength, shielding and sound quality should be the same. Alternatively, I can provide Rean metal cased 7 pin DIN plugs with gold pins at the same price on request - the centre 8th pin isn't used for Powerlink (even though it is mentioned as an "Overload" wire for Powerlink mk.2) so 7 pin plugs are also OK to use.

But I also usually buy complete cables from Steve
Thx for the advice, ordered some this AM.
Next question: fine quality solder source?
