Who makes good quality bananas ?

I need to purchase some bananas for some speaker wire. I would prefer some that can be crimped onto the wire and then left alone. also, some shrink wrap for sealing everything in would be good. Where can i find this stuff and any thoughts on who makes the best ones would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try the Cardas also. But if you can use spades, forget about bananas unless this is for a jumper.

Check out Parts Express for heat shrink, they have compression bananas also. What is the speaker wire you're using? The brand of banana may become a non-issue.

Cool. I was just wondering. Sometimes people care more about the connectors that the wire. If the wire was inexpensive the comprssion bananas from Parts Express and Cardas work very well and are not expensive. Music Direct has the Cardas compression bananas also.

OK folks,
I've experimented with Cardas connectors(posts, spades and bananas) in comparison to Dayton from Parts Express and realy feel that buying Cardas we're overpaying tooo much for the name.
Dayton has a great performance at fraction of Cardas price and very simple to terminate or mount.
