I have already used several 1/4" TS connectors: no name products, Neutrik NP2C and NP2X, and Switchcraft 280. I never took the time to compare them in order to find out if there is a sound difference between them.
I only know that Neutrik models aren't easy to solder and not very reliable (in my opinion). Their tip has a hole for the wire. But there is nothing for the sleeve! You have to solder directly on the connector.
The Switchcraft 280 have a hole for the tip wire. Moreover, they are shorter, slimmer and are fully made out of metal.
