Special K Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Item: Banana Plugs / Saw tooth plugs Price Range: TBC Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: I am currently having my first attempt at building speaker cables (Canare 4s11) and just simply stuck with which option to go for connections. Ideally banana plugs or sawtooth as I believe they have a better fit and brass from what I gather. Lack of soldiering and crimping tools/skills limits me to basic plugs. I will need just 4 for now as one end needs to go into an old Sansui amp and will just be bare wire unless there are recommendations on plugs for these too. if someone does want to move on more than 4 as well I will be open to it as there will ideally be a second and third set of cables made after this. I am based in 3152 and could possibly pick up if in the area. Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible. (You can now delete this text). Edited March 9, 2021 by Special K Typo

audiofeline Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I have 4 pairs of these (4 red + 4black), plus 2 pairs of a similar design (2 red + 2black) that I don't need. I'm in 3130 if you want to try them. What's the model of your Sansui amp? It may be possible to replace/upgrade the current speaker terminals with binding posts so you can use the plugs on both ends of your cables. It's not a too difficult job (depending on the amp, hence curious to look at the pics).
