Pure Tone Output Jacks?

[PoorMan]

Anyone tried them? What do you think?

Haven’t tried. Technically would work and provide better contact as advertised (being that electrons travel most along the surface of metals). Whether it’s worth it is a different argument.

Well... seeing that there usually isn't much resistance in a functioning plug/jack connection,

and the current is very small... I don't think you'd have anything to gain, except maybe that the jack won't fall out as easily .

EDIT: They look very good to me. For the price, I think I'd use them!

Their only real selling point is the reliability of the physical functions over time.
I have a jack from a 1950's p90 set/harness that still works perfectly, so its not like a regular decent quality jack will fall apart in a few years.

I have them in a few guitars

They function the same

I have had jacks crackle and get loose

This solves that

I'd like to purchase some, and install one in my guitar!

Thanks for the share.

I swapped out some wiring and pickups and installed them. They seem to work fine. I don't know about better or worse. A jack either works or it doesn't. I wouldn't go out and replace all my jacks with these for no reason but I don't see why a person wouldn't use them if they needed a new jack. YMMV

[Mincer]

I've used guitars where this would be an improvement. But I wouldn't take out perfectly functioning parts- well, that goes for any parts, really.

I use them fairly often. Both for my guitars and customers guitars. Work good, feel solid.

I put one in one of my guitars because the cable kept coming out. Works great and now my cable fits nice and tight, but I can't hear any difference in tone.

[PoorMan]

I've got a loose crackling jack on one of my guitars...I think i'll try one.

[ehdwuld]

To be fair
the cannon/barrel jacks seem to fail most often for me

I think you should purchase some and install them ALL in your guitar!

[eclecticsynergy]

I'd use them as a replacement part, for potentially better longterm durability.
I agree it doesn't seem like a worthwhile upgrade for a jack that works.

As for, "high and low frequencies are greatly improved creating a much more balanced sound while eliminating frequency spikes,"
I find that claim highly dubious, and doubt very much that this item will provide any tone improvement.

Lol!

Well...

As I've owned, and lost- more gear and things, that most people will ever get to have...

I've decided to stay with only ONE electric , my Epi Wildkat Koa, and one amplifier. :/ .

I'll spend my spare change, to upgrade guitar (and amp "rig", with i.e. a better reverb unit). Instead of try "Hoarding" back the whole studio, I used to own.
