These are great. Use double walled, adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the barrel as your finishing touch. Sound good and lock in very securely. Build quality is high.
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
Hello friends,
Trying to order a new set of DIY speaker cables. I have most of the connectors but need to order two pairs to replace bad Furutech bananas.
The requirements:
- Solid copper or gold over copper. Absolutely NO brass core.
- Screw down wire connections. No soldering
- Either fully insulated or easy to insulate, so nothing with a metal housing.
- Less than $80
Suggestions?

@grannyring Where do you suggest I get me some really heavy duty heat shrink as such. Needed for speaker and power cords. The parts express stuff I bought is not up to the task |
@brunomarcs , You want 3M heat shrink. It is the best. |
I have struggled over the years to find just the right heat shrink for particular projects. I do like the 3M heat shrink for most things and it does come either with/without adhesive. However, sometimes I have looked for thicker heat shrink for certain projects such as the ends of power cables, or even speaker cable connectors that will get a lot of handling over time. I have sometimes found what I wanted at Partsconnexion but you might also look at what is available at this place. |
