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? Tomy
