Proper way to connect banana plugs to wire

[j_garcia]

Here's a better deal for banana plugs. I bought these and they are great.

Those are the same price as Bluejeans, so buy them from Bluejeans instead and support a great company

:If you look at my sig, I do get my cables from BJ.

You are right, great company and I will continue to get cables from them when I need more. Always adding new stuff and for that requires more cables.

I need some new speaker cables, so I have a feeling Bluejeans will be getting an order from me soon for some 4S11

Coolness, just wish more people would buy from them. Just seems to me everyone goes with Monoprice.

No offense but those are the ones Paradigm Dawg said he had trouble screwing down to make them lock. Maybe he got a bad batch or maybe he can't screw right ... whatever.

I always thought it was righty tighty, lefty loosy ..so would it be a problem if he couldn't "screw right"; then it wouldn't tighten

I like Orange and Apple plugs better unless of course you want the Potassium from Bananas.

P.S. - Have you seen banana plugs with an adjustable screw down center pin, that tightens the banana plug after it is inserted ?

My GF prefers bananas.

I can screw ok...

I hate the GLS plugs, they are pretty but don't work worth a darn.

The only issue I've had with my locking ones was when I tripped over my speaker wire and literally ripped them out of my speaker It broke the split pins and I had to replace them.

ouch, that sucks.. they look really cool though and I guess they get a good connection right? they look cool enough I might get them and replace my spades..
