The type of RCA connectors, solder and quality of construction of the overall 89259-based interconnect are notably absent.I can't help but think of the guy who confused instructions between two different cable designs and left one end of the outer shield unconnected with the basic 89259 design, i.e., there was no return path through the coax. Who knows what those amateur testers did wrong?
I've built a practice set of basic 89259 interconnects using RCA connectors from RS and they're quite good nonetheless...at just $19 a pair. I'm building interconnects with Cardas plugs shortly, and I'm sure they'll be even better.
