Who makes good quality bananas ?


I need to purchase some bananas for some speaker wire. I would prefer some that can be crimped onto the wire and then left alone. also, some shrink wrap for sealing everything in would be good. Where can i find this stuff and any thoughts on who makes the best ones would be appreciated. Thanks.

BFA bananas all the way.  they have solid contact all the way around and into the terminals and have a very strong grip.  there are various types of attachment.  i use nerve audio on ebay.. i buy copper sleeves to put over them and crimp the crunk out of them.  it's a very secure connection.

i also used these once.  audioquest.  they came with crimp sleeves and were even more solid, but also bulkier. but you don't have to search for copper crimp sleeves.

either way, check out BFAs.  more contact area than a spade and stronger spring force than regular bananas.
