Explains why many of the jack plugs used by many makers of guitar cables are unreliable. Neutrik make the most rubust jacks on the market, they are used by most touring bands and studios worldwide.
ALL Neutrik connectors have the Neutrik logo on them! Use only connectors with the Neutrik logo. Because of their high quality reputation, Neutrik connectors are a major target for look-alike (rip-off) connector makers! The way they're made inside is different to a Neutrik plug and far less reliable. No logo... it's not a Neutrik connector - period!
Be aware, they also own the Re-an brand, which is a budget range. They are NOT ever marketed as Neutrik-Re-an - EVER. Neutrik do NOT assist retailers with their marketing activities. But, some unscrupulous retailers (shops) slip the Neutrik name into the advertising to fool the un-aware! BUT THEY ARE NOT A NEUTRIK PRO PLUG!
