impractical to spend $200 to terminate Mogami 3103 speaker cable??


As the thread title suggests, I'm thinking about Furutech locking banana's or spades to have my set of 3103 terminated. The models offered as available range from $168 for Furutech Spades, and then in to the lower-mid $200 range for Banana style with Gold or Rhodiums options. Cheers -Don

Rhodium has a sonic signature so exercise caution. What do you have currently? Bare wire? If you're happy with the cable and want to add plugs, then go for it. You've some nice kit there.
Thanks no romance...was not aware of Rhodium having a signature. What's the word on the street there (-:... I ordered these from performance audio, and correct, as bare wire. They dabbed around 1/3" of solder on each end, and I don't like the connection much. The only way I could see this working is if I strip these down, and expose more unsoldered wire. I'm using the Mogami in to a Luxman 550 AX II, and Harbeth C7's. Source from main system is a Kuzma Ref 2. I've yet to purchase a source solely for the Luxman/Harbeths. I'm still breaking in the Lux, it's only a few weeks old. Cheers -Don
I have had great results with KLE Classic Harmony Banana Plugs. Not locking type but good spring for a solid connection.
You used Cardas Eutectic or WBT 0820 I hope.
If it ain't got the lead, your sound is dead.
