>that I plan never to make another set of silver cables with anything less.

>The Bullet Plugs feature in Stereophile's "Great gifts under $300".

>I'm sure many will be interested in the sonic differences between the WBT
>Nextgen connector and the Bullet Plug. During the past few days I've spent
>time evaluating both connectors.

>Rather than use an Eichmann cable as a test platform, I chose the DNM
>interconnect (thanks to Derek Coates - Eichmann Distributor in Canada for
>supplying the cable) which is an uncomplicated, unshielded 2 conductor
>copper wire cable. The simple design of the DNM allows the connectors to

>Protocol:
>3 x DNM interconnect cables (1m length) connected to test plugs with
>lead-free silver solder.
>Subjective listening tests using a variety of music.

>DNM with WBT Nextgen
>DNM with Bullet Plug (soldered at rear platforms) DNM with Bullet Plug
>(signal wire soldered at tip of hollow signal pin)

>It's difficult to be objective when testing your product against the

>connector. But is it as good as the Bullet Plug?

>The short answer is no

>Throughout the listening tests the WBT exhibited a bass lift and coloration
>(ripeness) that impacts on the overall performance of the plug. In the
>days
>of tone controls, you would swear someone had turned up the bass! However,
>accompanying this tilt in bass is a slowness, lack of definition and
>blurring that extends into the lower mid range. The result is a slightly
>congested soundstage and veiling of detail.
>
>By comparison, the Bullet Plug (with cable connected at the rear solder
>platforms) appears light on its feet, sounding faster and cleaner with
>better definition throughout. The soundstage is more open and transparent,
>with more detail.

>Further gains were noted when the signal wire of the DNM cable is

>at the "tip" of the hollow Bullet signal pin. The sound becomes more
>liquid, with a touch more body and weight throughout. Dimension is
>improved
>with increased depth and layering.
>
>Summary:
>
>The WBT Nextgen presents a slightly old fashioned sound rich and euphonic
>with a "fat" and somewhat plodding bass - somewhat like an old tube
>amplifier. The plug is well made and easy to terminate, and it offers
>better performance than most standard RCA connectors. However at US $27.50
>per plug it's an expensive exercise.
>
>For those who prefer a cleaner, more natural and detailed presentation
>(with
>a super tight bass) at a much cheaper price, the Bullet Plug will be the
>connector of choice. The Bullet Plug also offers the option of connection
>at
>the "tip" of the signal pin which provides additional gains with some
>cable designs.
>
>The success of the Bullet Plug is the genuine "single-point" contact of the
>ground pin. In comparison, the Nextgen uses a large slab of metal for the
>ground contact.
>
>I hope that this answers your question.
