For what it’s worth, coming from Monoprice 12g wire with Nakamichi bananas, I went with the Viborg pure copper banana plugs on Furutech FS-A36 12g speaker cable. I tried one speaker with the Nakamichi & the other with the Viborg both treated with Stabilant & the Viborg & the OCC Copper made a HUGE difference. And I thought my system sounded good before the change. Also when I did the UPGRADE, I tried the Viborg pure silver & lost the ''3D/openness'' of the pure copper.

@thecarpathian Brilliant idea. It would be easy to implement using a double double bi- wire design and blow peoples minds. |
Answered definitively in a prior thread that bananas are the only sensible choice. All meant in good fun though. |
@oldaudiophile @davetheoilguy P.S. Re bare wire and gauge, I use ~AWG 4-5 (so VERY thick) bare wires. Took a bit of fiddling to get them in neat, but works fine both amp (Pass XA25) and speaker (PearlAcoustics Sibelius) side. And no, they don't get loose. I have not done a pull up on them, but no unreasonable amount of pulling will move them. |
