I am currently using the Tara Labs hollow banana plugs. The problem is, is when I push my cabinet back towards the back wall, I lose a connection on my left speaker. I wonder if anyone has experience using Sure Grip banana plugs? They are made of solid metal and according to a dealer I talked to they are spring loaded. He said these hold firmer and they would be less likely to work themselves loose.
Need help buying new speaker cable
My Tara Labs Apollo speaker cable broke at the negative terminal end. I will need to replace them. What cables would you recommend? I would like to know what cables out there would be comparable. I would like to upgrade but they need to be affordable. A local dealer recommended Audioquest Robin Hood’s but they cost $2,000. I just can’t spend that much money. I am looking at Audioquest Rocket 88’s for $1,150. Any ideas? I would also like to know what the sound difference be compared to my Appolo’s? I still have a difficult time you can hear a sound difference between one cable and another.

Either way the cables need to be repaired. Have them repaired by Tara Labs if you want to sell them at some point. If not and need bananas, order these locking bananas: https://silversonic.com/products/connectors/locking-banana-plug-thin-style/ Call them to get the right size, etc. Get four for all the amp end connections. Then have the cables repaired locally. In the meantime get a trial set from Cableco. You never know, you might like something better but you won’t find that answer here. You need to listen in your system. |
