Banana Plugs with Dual Set Screws,Black and Red Aluminum Shell,6 Pairs

gracias

After having used several less than stellar flex and banana plugs I was really pleased with the design and quality of these. I’ll be ordering more. Well machined, screws worked fine and secured the Amazon 16g Bronze speaker wire, an excellent cable, without issue. Let me share an important fact with some younger audiophiles that may be falling into the high dollar trap of monster cable and wire, particularly when dealing with vintage audio equipment, I’m 70 years old and have been playing with all of this since it was released: NONE of the top manufacturers specified anything larger than 16 gauge and that was rare. Typically they didn’t specify anything. Back then there was nothing but copper anyway.16 gauge copper, not aluminum clad has always been sufficient for great audio reproduction. None of the original terminals were designed to accept anything larger than #14 and you’ll struggle with that gauge on some equipment. “Oxygen free” makes me laugh. After spending a lifetime in the electrical trade all conductive cable is oxygen free when it is clad. Anyway, great plugs. Hope this helps save someone some expense and grief.

Great quality. Classy look. Sturdy construction. Lightweight. Quick and easy assembly (if you have a very small flathead screwdriver). Compatible with any copper wire stripped down to .25 inch of exposed copper. Saves so much time when connecting surround sound systems. There is extra value with the additional connector.

Price, quality and ease of installation make these a very good buy. Remove about 14mm of wire sheathing, twist copper, loosen screws on plugs, insert wire into plug. Try to center the wire if it's not a thicker gauge and then tighten back screw and then front screw and then tighten down to keep them nice and secure. Place the metal cover and screw it onto the threads and finger tighten. NOW the issue I had was they are very hard to push into the receptacles. I was worried at first but with some pressure they popped into the channel. After you understand this you'll have no issue pressuring them into place. Having them tight is actually a good thing but unless you have some strange devices they will go into the standard plugs. Really nice set at a great price. Who cares what the name of the product is? It works well and at a good price.

These are built very nicely and worth every penny. At first I thought I had the wrong size as they wouldnt fit in the female ends of my equipment but I realized when new, they're just extremely tight. I fixed this using a pair of pliers to gently squeeze the springy part of each plug down a bit. now they fit nice and snug and carry 10 amps easily. I will order more when needed.
