"A minor over sight with the Ultra-Clear interconnects; due to the larger diameter of the connector technology I cannot use them with two of my older FM tuners, or a passive preamp because the RCA female on the back of the passive preamp and tuners are to close together. The over sized connector will not fit next to each other."
Experienced same with a component I wanted to try the cables on and spoke to Rick at VD about it. He said a new connector is coming out that will be a narrower profile and will fit all components but have all same qualities. I would not mess or mod these cables. You would be better to call Rick to see if he can switch them out for you. - Eric
