RADIO SHACK BANANA PLUG SERIES

In fact, I paid $500 for ten feet of Q Black, and less than $400 for eight meters of River cable! Now I have absolutely first rate cables that are long enough to let me manipulate speaker placement, and my wife thinks I am brilliant! Thanks for a remarkable product and best wishes for more success.and I really like the locking bananas with such substantial cables hanging from them. How nice, for your future customers, that River cables cost less than either the Kimber or Tellurium. I hear all manner of nuance on familiar records that I didn't realize was there, and my wife agrees. I clearly started at the wrong end because your cables blew the others out of the water! Well, the River Cables really sound like nothing! Or to say it another way, there is a sense of openness and ease that makes the other cables sound congested. The original Kimber 8TC, then Tellurium Q Black, lastly, the old Radio Shack heavy braided cables, and finally yours. No I don't work for them.'About the cable.I have had the opportunity to hear three other cables between my Maggies 1.7 and the Parasound Halo amps driving them. One of the few items on that is genuinely less expensive than purchasing locally is the selection of MIT cables (hopefully this holds true for other cable brands too). The difference between the radio shack interconnect and the Audioquest interconnect is audible, but not as huge. The difference between the CD player manufacturer supplied cable and the Radio Shack gold plated cable is tremendous. Here I use Audioquest cables, though I'm sure I could get a little more exotic here too. I did splurge for the CD player (digital out) to receiver (digital in) and for the receiver to external amp connections. I use Radio Shack gold plated interconnect cables for many connections.

I don't know that any other speaker cable manufacturer has an equivalent technology. RADIOSHACK 040293140021 Banana Plug Radioshack gold series banana plug 2-pack product features free shipping on orders over 50 gold-plated for durability, these plugs accept 12-gauge wire or cable. Better, cleaner highs, solid and precise lows, focused imaging. If you have ever spent a lot of time listening to a set of speakers through a high quality speaker cable, and then have to listen to speakers through thin cable like many audio store chains use in their listening rooms (aka Audio King in Woodbury, MN for those of you near that area), the difference in the quality of the sound is unmistakable. I don't know if they change the sound one bit, but still well worth the investment. Yes, Radio Shack Banana Plugs are a must simply from a convienience standpoint. You can always experiment with more expensive cabling later and see what you think. Just make sure you have a sufficient gauge of speaker wire for your runs, and make sure that you get a very solid connection at the receiver and speakers. Personally, I'd spend more money on the component cable and other interconnects than speaker wire. This has worked quite well for me.Īs Mike said, you could spend quite a bit more or less and be happy.

Easy and tidy option for bi-wiring, and you should be able to buy this wire at a local shop for less than $.90 a foot. Monster makes a 4 x 14ga bulk cable (2 pair of 14ga in one casing). If your runs to your center and mains are short (say under 12 feet), you might consider trying a fairly cheap bi-wire option for these speakers. Don't want to get into the speaker wire debate, really, but I agree that decent (like Monster) 12ga will suffice.

I also use the Monster M-500 component video cable and have no complaints. Bare wire/wire termination is debated, but I haven't noticed a difference assuming I get a solid connection. I use Monster twist-crimp banana plugs for convenience of wire termination and connection/disconnection (I think $12 for four plugs). Might want to re-do these connections every once in a while if you're worried about oxidation. Plugs are too thin to fit my voltmeters sockets snugly. These arent any better than Radio Shacks. I agree with Mike, bare wire connections are fine. The banana plug on the red wire in the set I purchased is too big to fit into any jack, including the piggy-back jack on.
