These should be an easy 5 stars the cable feels good, the fit the socket snugly and look great.... except they aren't horizontal. And the are off quite a bit. By this I mean when they are plugged in and you look at them from behind they be horizontal to ground, or the equipment, But the stick up a bit. Both ends the plus are opposite. so when plugged in one points right and the other left. (Except it's right and up a bit and left a up a bit). They are not even off by the same amount, making it look more messy when In and Thru are both connected. You can actually see this in the picture on the site of the back of the board, it goes up a little. Mine go up a little more. Shame as these would make a tidy solution for the new analogues with midi on top.
