Banana Plugs - Ultimate Buyer's Guide 

Use crimp wire ferrules before you stick it into a banana plug. It solves the screw issue most of the time, prevents corrosion and provides a better contact. Now all of this does not matter in real use, few tents of an Ω will not make any difference in audio circuits.

crimp correct size ferrule on wire -> stick ferruled wire in banana plug, screw down. haven't ever had an issue to date.

I use "bullet" plugs made for RC cars (soldered)

Good job and great info. My personal gripe is banana plugs with metal sleeves. If you accidentally touch the two connectors together while switching cables, it can shut your amp down or put it into protection mode (which is a headache to deal with on some models) or the worst case, short out a channel/amp.

Hi, thx for video) Tell us about phase-linear acoustics, using the example of a 2-way system, it would be interesting

Thanks for diving into the unfortunate world of banana plugs, an overpriced swamp of mostly trash.

@AudioJudgement: In the USA, we do not have the wire gauges you speak of. We have: 12 AWG, 14 AWG, 16 AWG and 18 AWG, for speaker wires.

Was wondering if I would need some for longevity purpose (oxydation). From listening I could hear some difference from some. I guess it was due to iron in the ones I took from my parents to test. Silver was the better sound but pricier. I've understood more and now I know what to pick if needed. Thanks!

Thank you so much. The video was really helpful, useful and nice. Well done to you.

I've been using the number 2 banana plugs for a while but mine seem to be brass or at least brass coated, they work fine for me

I follow you friend, would you be so kind as to activate the Serbian translation for your videos.

people hate sexcuring the wire to the binding posts, however ive had more issues with these coming loose or being annoying in other ways. i find the binding posts easy enough

hi please suggest me a usb sound card with stereo mic in budgut

a very powerfully developed and very well documented video.😆

This video is right in time for my next speaker project!

I was looking for 14awg wire and what I found is confusing… I have seen metric equivalent 14awg ranging from 2mm2 to 2.5mm2, what is the Actual accurate measurement?

Well done. Thank you.

Wgge plugs are the same as the winner pick. I use them. For the last 6 years never fails me on every build.
