As a sound tech guy, I am well pleased with this Amphenol stereo jack. I bought few of these to make insert cables for our Soundcraft mixing desk. They are easy to solder and very well built with a good strain relief mechanism. Works well with instrument and microphone cables with standard diameter. Compared to Neutrik plugs I am starting to like the Amphenol stuff more, I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed if you decided to by these plugs.
