I built two 300's the last two days. When I went to calibrate them,
I knew something was wrong. The 300 I had previously built and
calibrated wasn't tracking correctly, and I couldn't tune the
two new ones, the trimers were all the way to one extreme and
still didn't track.

Then I found the culprits. I had recently built new patch cables
using neutrik connectors. When I pulled these out and used some
older cables everything started working perfectly.

I used a DVM and got a resistance measurement between the tip
and sleeve.

So obviously I don't quite understand how to assemble the
cables correctly using the neutrik connectors. They don't
seem to have a good place to solder (especially the ground
connection), so I assumed the locking action of the cam
pushed the cable down to make the connection.

Anyone else using these connectors? Any tips on how to
assemble them?
