I normally buy Switchcraft 290 (I think) three-conductor shielded phone
plugs, but I have not had to buy any for a while. A quick search reveals
that low quantities are $6 and up. The Neutriks are much less expensive.
Are they any good? I'm thinking the N3X is the direct replacement, but
I'm not really familiar with Neutrik's part numbers.
http://www.zzounds.com seems to have good pricing, although I have never
purchased from them.
