Banana Plugs

[TinHere]

I saw this link posted somewhere else. Someone reported that the store is reputable, someone else reported they are nice quality, and the price is right if you can use them IMHO.

Well, if stacking is needed, these would be the wrong plugs.

Bruce,

I use those same Bananas from Partexpress. They are good plugs but the only thing that kindof irks me is that the lock down screws don't stay really tight. They tend to lossen up pretty easily. Granted, this is only a problem is you are always unplugging and plugging them. I don't so no big deal. They are a great value for the price. Good heavy build quality.

JSE; My brother just bought some Dayton banana plugs. He was very satisfied with the price and quality.

So when would you want to use Banana clips? What is the advantage?

Advantages?

Sound - None

Ease of use - Very helpful and convenient. You can simply plug and unplug. No need to tighen or loosen binding post. Of course, if you never really disconnect or connect your speakers it's really not an issue.

You'll get down on your knees and thank Jehovah for Banana Plugs. BP's with labled lines make making sense of the rat's nest behind your system sooo much easier.

I find that to be true with most Banana Plugs. You have to torque the screws until they just about shatter.

Funny, I actually stripped out a couple of old banana plugs that I liberated from my father years ago. Not sure what brand they were. I got a pair of pliers and some vice-grips and needless to say, they lasted about two cranks. I actually sheered one of the binding screws in half. Darm, this superhuman strength is a Beeeaaaatchhh sometimes.
