WBT Banana Connectors

@majew001 ;-)

I have always preferred bananas over spades.   AECO make an interesting spade that may be a good low mass option.  I remember the years ago loving the heft of an expandable WBT banana.  Thought it enhanced the audio performance.  Come to realize, it was just connector jewelry.

I have transitioned to solid core conductors and with proper cable routing, provides less strain at the banana.  

Fun hobby...right?

I was thinking to trim a strand or two away from the copper and just go bare into the Marantz. (is that a crazy idea?) I was lucky and found a 2270 with no mods and clean, I’m going to leave it original for sure. Great ideas about strain relief on the cables. @dabel – what cables and speakers are you enjoying with your 2270?

@mbolek - yes it is! 😄

Appreciate all of the info above! Lots to think about + excited to get these speaker cables to work.

Remember, you also have pre-out as an external amplification option. Opens up the world for cables! Something to think about.

I’m not dodging your question, and will answer later when “the coast is clear”.
