Review on 12 Pairs of Gold Plated Deadbolt Flex Pin Banana Plugs for Spring Loaded Speaker Terminals by Major Lindsay

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Looks nice. Short-circuits the amplifier if there is not enough space between the terminals.

Benefits Looks great Easier to insert after first try than bare copper strands For outdoor use, a coating on the braid and a coating on bare copper can do a little to prevent some polarity corrosion than some wire markers like crests or stripes. Disadvantages BIG CON - Shorting amplifiers if the connections are too close together. This. Most of the time I've been trying out spring style amps/speakers. Clear heat shrink tubing with adhesive on the brass is a workaround. The gold appearance looks nice, but doesn't detract from the sound quality for better or worse (with the exception of the rear section). It's an illusion. There are tiny o-rings that are easily lost and should probably be spares as they don't stay on the connector at all during reassembly or removal.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Legacy model
