1. What types of connectors do you prefer for speaker cables?
Locking banna plugs.. (never used them but I am dieing to get ahold of some to try them out)
2. Is color important of the jacket important to you? What color do you prefer?
Color does make a slight difference if I am given options I shoot for blue.
If it has to be laid on the floor in sight then white.
3. Is speaker cable jacket material important? Is a certain type of look and feel preferred?
I hate to say it but i like the way audioquest packages their cables.
2. Black or a color to match the decore of the room (White, Tan, etc.)
3. The tech flex type material found on some high end cables looks nice if you want the cables to be seen, but is not necessary if they are supposed to blend in with the room.
1) I like the conienence of banana plugs
2) I want the wires to blend into the background so as not to be noticeable where exposed, will probably vary depending on the decor, but for me a beige would work well
3) I like a good heavy/sturdy jacket that will stand up to some abuse (being pulled through walls, walked on, vacuumed, etc.
1) I prefer short gold plated banana connectors with rubber jacket for isolation.
2) Yes the color of the jacket is important to me. I prefer transparent color.
3) Yes speaker cable jacket material is important to me. I like it to have markings so I know which one is + and -, and finally I like it to be composed of two jackets for extra protection from interference.
1. Banana Plugs, preferably locking, with insulation around the grip to lessen the chances of shorting.
2. I run most everything in-wall or through furniture, but if I have to see the cable, I'd prefer it to be a neutral white so it blends in with the baseboards.
3. Soft, flexible jackets are best. Not too much friction, though -- need to be able to pull it around corners and through voids.
