What about DIN plugs? Small surface area, "scraping" contacts when inserted, available silver plated, and earth contact makes first on insertion. Bit of a bitch with thick cables though.
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Yes! Right PITA.

I think that's more like it.

Shane, I like your idea of using a DIN :D This is on the tonearm>phono amp run, so it makes sense given there's a DIN on the other end, into the Mayware arm . I like the idea of having one plug that goes into the back of the phono amp, with the four cartridges connections & tonearm earth . I hate all that fumbling around with a seperate tonearm earth wire at the moment ! Only thing I'd like to see ( only checked HiFi Collective so far ) is a DIN male connector with a decent flange and fitting holes, to go in the back of the amp (?) .
Maybe I'll do this with the phono amp rebuilt ( late 2016 ? ) . For now, probably use the Eichmann's I have with some new wire from the tonearm . If I didn't have any Eichmann bullets, I'd be buying some of those that Greg linked to - about time someone undercut ETI !

Din plugs remind me of my naim days….

Their locking ones always felt classy…

I still have to use them for my cd player, with somewhat inconveniently, two runs of Klotz twin, twisted screened stuff
