The main reason I went for the Eichmann bananas in the first place is that I had such good luck with the Eichmann RCAs, of which there must be at least 15-20 in my system. Many of these have beens soldered and resoldered (with different IC cable) numerous times . I did destroy one of the RCAs (broke off the ground pin) doing this, but that was a fluke. Obviously YMMV.
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.
