I have some, and they do have the potential to seperate. However, you have to bend them to make that happen, so just be gentle with them (as you should with all hifi equipment). Further, if they do seperate, the connectors are still usable; it is just a little more difficult as you have to compress them together and then insert them into the binding post.
Eichmann Bayonet plugs user experience
I was going to have a new speaker cables terminated with the eichmann bayonet plugs, when the dealer advise me of this situation:
"We've found that, while there is a small reliability issue with Bayonet plugs, it's not due to the solder connection. There's a nylon shaft with a copper sheath wrapped around it and in some cases we've seen the copper shaft bend away from the nylon sheath. While we think the Bayonet is the best sounding connector for speaker cables, we do like to inform customers about this issue. But they work just fine, and we do recommend the Bayonet plugs. You just have to be a little more careful with them."
Just wonder if other users have encountered the same issue.
