Banana Plugs for Speaker Wire - 24K Gold Plated Banana Adapter Connector(6 Pairs/12 pcs)

I never imagined that my rig would sound better by using these plugs.The plugs are well finished and surprisingly easy to set up and use. Of course, they make it ever so easy to plug into an amp / receiver and stereo speakers. The bonus is the sound improvement. It improves the sound quality in a way that is appreciable. Not at the level of a quality DAC, still appreciably better sound.

the only good Banana Plugs on amazon. All the other ones are breaking, or not stable.

Very nice banana clips for the money

I took a star off for that, but only one, because many of these items appear to have barrels that conduct electricity. I doubt they'll contact each other, but you never know. I bought some more expensive copper spade lugs for the big amp and their barrel covers are heat shrink. The value of these is the two screws to pinch the speaker wire. That's why these get the remaining 4 stars. The barrel is just decorative, and could be plastic. Price is good.

Well made,easy to use,

Overall solid quality banana plugs. Nice fitment and easy to connect wires. No audio issues at all.

Good quality

I'd been using the famous, oft-recommended Monoprice banana plugs for a small amp and bookshelf speakers on my desk for nearly a decade before trying these. With the Monoprice versions, I had intermittent issues with unequal volume between the two channels, and could often produce crackling or drop-outs just by jiggling the speaker wire anywhere along its length.In hindsight, the Monoprice design is very flawed: it requires you either to fan out tiny wire strands into the plug, or alternatively, "trap" a tinned wire end horizontally through the small holes and then tighten down the plug by hand. Neither of these produce a fully secure connection over a large surface area inside the plug.These Goaycer plugs are totally different. You insert the wire end into the plug vertically, then tighten down two different set screws about half an inch apart to lock the wire firmly into place. This produces a secure connection along the length of the plug that won't be affected by normal wear and tear, items lightly tugging on the speaker wires, etc. The only way the wire can come loose is if you manually loosen the set screws. My wire ends are tinned, but I think these plugs would work just as well even with freshly cut speaker wire (maybe just twist the strands before inserting into the plug).The only downside is that it takes about 1-2 min per wire to attach these plugs due to needing a mini flathead screwdriver for the set screws, vs. 10 seconds per wire by hand with the Monoprice design. But that's a feature, not a bug, in my book. Now that I'm getting full, equal volume from both speakers that doesn't change even when I tug on the wires, I wish I'd gone with these a long time ago.
