General Information
Why the Bullet Plug connector is better than the RCA
plug you presently use.
The Bullet Plug connector is a totally new approach to RCA/phono
connection where every aspect of electron flow has been considered.
The result is an RCA compatible connector that can improve the
performance of any analogue, digital or video cable - often dramatically.
Please note the Bullet Plug is minimalist in design and appearance.
If you're looking for connector jewellery this plug may not be
for you. However if your objective is ultimate performance quality

Annealed copper has a conductivity rating of at least 100% IACS
(International Annealed Copper Standard). Brass has a conductivity
rating of 28% IACS.
Because of this low conductivity brass RCA plugs act as a bottleneck
to electron flow. Brass plugs may also cause phase errors and smearing
through mass and skin effect.
Another problem is the return/ground collar - which can impair
electron flow through:
"Eddy current" distortion - as electrons proceed to and
from the RCA socket into the collar
through multiple contact points.
"Capacitive" distortion - where gaps exist between the
socket and collar.
"Micro-arcing" distortion - an electrical short that
can occur where gaps exist between the socket and collar.
Additionally, RCA plugs are coaxial designs (metal return/ground
surrounding signal pin) that have an impedance effect. This impedance
can have a varied and adverse impact on performance.
The solution:
The new Bullet Plug® connector solves the problems of standard
and audiophile grade RCA plugs by providing a faster, cleaner signal
of high purity and detail.
To achieve this the Bullet Plug® functions as a miniature cable
- with high-conductive, gold-plated tellurium copper (CuTe) pins
providing a rapid transfer of electrons to/from RCA sockets.
In this patent-pending design, the return pin of the Bullet Plug®
makes single point contact with the side wall of an RCA socket -
concentrating electrons to one point thereby reducing distortion.
This is a similar approach to "star earthing" used in
amplifiers.
The perfect RCA connector for Audio and Home Theater cables.
The quality of RCA plugs is easily overlooked in the context of
an audio or home theater system. Yet RCA plugs can have a disproportionate
and detrimental effect on the final performance.
This is easy to understand when you consider two points:
The delicate nature of the tiny, millivolt signals flowing in your
interconnect, digital and video cables.
The number of times these delicate signals travel through low-
conductive brass RCA plugs before reaching the amplifier.
The Bullet Plug® has been specifically designed to preserve
the delicate millivolt signals and provide a cleaner, more efficient
transfer of electrons.
This translates to significant improvements in sound and vision.
The perfect RCA connector for 75-Ohm Digital and Video cables.
Standard RCA plugs may interfere with the true 75-Ohm impedance
of your digital and video cables due to impedance variation.
The Bullet Plug® has negligible impedance and takes on the
true 75-Ohm impedance (or any other impedance value) of the cable
itself.
Imagine baring the ends of your 75-Ohm cable and holding the bared
wires up against the RCA socket. You would achieve a true 75-Ohm
connection.
This is what happens when you use the Bullet Plug® connector.
The perfect RCA connector for Car Audio cables.
A mobile environment places enormous stress on the most advanced
RCA plugs.
Many (including audiophile grade locking varieties) become loose
through vibration - causing capacitive type distortion and hum,
and eventually complete loss of signal.
Others grip the RCA socket with such ferocity that they damage
the socket. This can lead to oxidation, which will compromise the
signal.
The Bullet Plug® is made from an engineering grade polymer
that adjusts to the RCA socket for a firm, secure fit - yet is easy
to disconnect. Once adjusted to the socket, the Bullet Plug®
remains in place despite the most severe vibration.
Furthermore the Bullet Plug® can provide the cleanest, most
detailed sound of any RCA connector available.
The Bullet Plug® - the closest approach to no plug at all.
