Rean NYS 322

I'm using these connectors for making my own MIDI cables in my quite specific studio setup.

Pros:
- excellent price to quality ratio
- sturdy with proper strain relief
- metal casing
- easy to solder
- fit well in all MIDI sockets

Cons: none

I've been using these for quite some years now. Some users might find it irrelevant but I like how these plugs slide into all MIDI sockets on all of my devices, while I hade some ready made cables that had to be plugged in and out with decent force.

While not a con, I'd like to see more variants of this connector, e.g. 90 degrees angle, etc.

I use this one for an old Philcorda which has an 5 pin audio output. I also used cheaper ones but i really prefer this one. First of all the metal case is really stable and solid. Then the cable relief and rubber break protection is also very solid. At least the connection pins inside are very easy to solder. The solder almost sticks to the pins. This is a mess with the cheap ones. Espacially becaus there are five of the pin connectors and they´re very small. So if you want a long live, easy to solder connctor invest the more bucks ans go for the neutrik! I only used it for audioconnections. Don´t know how it works for Midi.
