KabelDirekt – Banana Plugs – 5 Pairs

First time order: I like these banana plugs. They are well made and solid. I even received one extra screw. The only issue I had is that one of them would not accept the screws. On inspection, the holes were not threaded on just this one. Otherwise a 5 star product. Update: 5 stars for sure! The manufacturer is very quick to respond and totally satisfied my issue with the one un-tapped plug. I've continued to buy more of these and will do so in the future. Subsequent orders: In all of my orders after that first one, the screws are pre-installed so they've eliminated the risk of an untapped hole escaping. What really sets these apart for me is that they accept larger gauge wire than competitors and the set screws (grub screws) have better more consistent slotting - important since the torque to ensure good contact with the wire can be hard to achieve with shallow-slotted screws I've seen on some competitor's plugs. Additionally - the decorative polarity coding ring doesn't interfere with the screws - important when using heavy gauge cable. (some competitors require their screws to be flush with the body in order for their decorative sleeve to work which limits the wire thickness to somewhat less than the id of the connector) Photo is an example of a bi-wire cable I made using these KabelDirekt banana plugs & techflex, on some old Tara Labs prism 2+2 I had laying around.

Like the double screws, they hold the wire tight. The plugs fit tight as well. A couple were too tight, but just squeezed them with my fingers and in they went. I like the tight fit. I also like the look. Best of all, the next time I have to unplug the amp it'll be quick and easy to plug everything back in. It took just over 10 minuets to do 10 plugs. Now their all color coded +&- , so next time I'll be positive the polarity is correct. They come in a nice box as well. No negatives from me, sorry about the puns........

Seem to be well made and solid. How ever some of the set screw holes are nor machined very well Hard to tighten down or back out. Also had to squeeze the prongs with pliers to get them to insert into my Polk speakers and Denon receiver. Would have been 5 star except for these two problems.

These are actually really good! Very well made and as good or better than some of the big name ones that you'll pay a lot more money for. They will also handle 10 gauge wire! Good stuff!

These plugs work as expected. The 2 screws hold the wire firmly in place and the connection to my old Sony and new Yamaha receivers have had no problems. They are a little stiff the first time I plugged them in, but after that, they were easy to stick into the posts. I had a minor issue with one of the screws for a plug and contacted the seller over e-mail. they responded right away and fixed the problem super fast. The product is an easy 5 stars and the customer service that backs them up is too! They may be a bit more expensive, but they are worth it! 032422 $18.91 total

I have these for over a year and a half now and have no complaints at all. They came packaged well and are pretty easy to assemble. I used mine with 12 gauge wire and these have plenty of room to go bigger if desired. So far, no discoloration. They seem to hold up pretty well but it is not like I plug and unplug them frequently. I'm pretty happy with my purchase of the KabelDirekt – Banana Plugs – 10 Pairs (for Speaker Wire, AWG 10-16, Allow Flexible Connection to Speakers, amplifiers, A/V receivers, Power amplifiers & Stereo Systems, Fixing Screws, Gold Plated). The only thing I would wish for to make this a better buy for me is a lower price.

Good quality connectors

Professional Recording studio installation. The binding posts are solid, well-made, and the banana-post is an optimal blend of flex vs. rigidity. However, the screws that hold the wires in place - the screw head tears with minimal force. These kind of posts need an airtight seal. Attempting a moderate tightening destroys the product. The good news: there are two screw posts holes, so maybe that will hold. We'll see. If the screws were better made this would be a 5+ star product. The second photo shows how far plugs insert into the speaker. (mm ruler next to post for scale) The first photo shows full insertion at the power amp side. Hope this helps.

Je suis très content de ces fiches bananes, elles sont plutôt jolies et j'apprécie le double maintiens du cable (j'ai pris des cables 2.5mm de la même marque, je pense que c'est la taille maxi sinon les vis ressortiront). Pour une meilleure isolation du câble, j'ai mis des gaines thermo-rétractables (transparentes pour ne pas gacher l'esthétisme et pour la polarité c'est suffisament visible), Pour l'insertion des fiches, il faut d'abord écraser le milieu de la fiche avec ses doigts (fortement) pour chaque lamelle avant d'insérer la fiche. Je recommande totalement pour le rapport qualité/prix.

Francamente non capisco i commenti di chi non riusciva ad inserirli nei binding post, perché con la giusta pressione entrano ottimamente. Le viti stringono i cavi senza problemi.

rapidité et qualité

Süper

Easy to insert the cables into them, and they're color coding is neat and simple, definitely good quality. However, I'm taking 2 stars off for how absolutely annoying the plug tips are.. They require a decent bit of pressure to plug in. Had that issue with 3 different speakers and 2 different amps, so it's not an equipment issue. A different set of plugs I have plug in smooth as butter. That's my only gripe with these.
