| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors @whitestix I’m even more confused now. I used the SureGrip100 BFA/Banana (Silver). I looked on their site and they say it’s a cold weld connection, which means crimp. The 100s aren’t supposed to have screws.. I’m psyched you’re happy with them. Th... | |
| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors @geoch that’s exactly why I don’t solder. I crimp the ever loving crap out of it. Then heat shrink it. For AC I do the same with copper spades, but give it a could of wraps of plumber’s tape before I heat shrink. I’m probably just doing it wrong, ... | |
| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors Hmm, my audio quest plugs were crimp on.. I'll have to double check which model I bought. I crimped instead of soldering. I lean towards crimping because of the cold weld, which I think is more durable than solder. But really, I doubt it matters, ... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I was sceptical of any differences in sound due to power cables, but experimentation has shown me they exist.. It's always amusing when people have strong opinions on things they've never tried. | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise This place is also a good source for cable: http://www.vt4c.com/shop/program/main.php?cat_id=1034&group_id=3&hit_cat=They have a variety of different OFC cables. I ended up buying GY-PW9000, which has rectangular cross section neutral and ... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise I just checked out the iego site.. They look very similar to sonar quest, which I’m currently using and find to be excellent connectors. So that’s another option.. I really like the silver plated copper in my rig.http://www.sonarquest.net/I've no ... | |
| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors Indeed. These new BFAs of all makes are such an elegant solution. Their simplicity and effectiveness is just so freaking Zen.@whitesix (why can I only get @ to work half the time?) Get a good pair of crimping pliers. I bought some at Lowe’s for $1... | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this @toolbox149 Thanks for the idea.. My problem is that I have a big triple pane slider (1 pane slides) and a big sliding window. So, ideally, the treatment would still allow me to open them. Particularly the door. :-) | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles @mward - your 'dates' post made me laugh. Thanks. Also, mward is one of my favorite musicians.. | |
| Recommendations for top-notch banana speaker cable connectors I used to agree with the preference for spades, but the new BFA bananas (suggested by reubent and others above) offer better and more contact with the binding post than spades. I’m incredibly happy with the audioquest SureGrip100 BFA/Banana (Silve... | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? @whitecap - did you ever figure out what the Dickens the problem was? | |
| Apple Abandons Development of Wireless Routers They're definitely drifting. Still, I love how stable their laptops are. I haven't really worked with many of their other products... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Bringing this thread back from the dead..I'm not a big Nick Cave fan, but his new album has some amazing tracks.. This one in particular is hauntingly beautiful, especially when you know that his 11-12 year old son died while he was making this al... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Dude, thanks or that list! A great starting point for me. I could conceivably do helix speaker cables since I only need 5 ft cables.. Though might length differences in the + & - adversely affect the sound? I understand why they won't in the p... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? I think I will try the KLE connectors though. I'm curious how much better than the standard cardas silver plated copper they are. |
