    Very good video. I got my own speaker set-up many years ago and compared to this I butchered them. Just today when I was checking to see why there was a buzz in my speakers my banana plug tip came off and stayed in the SMSL AD 18 I had. turns out I never tightened them from their box like you mentioned! The speaker that had the tip come out of its play didn't turn back on so when I took it apart I didn't have them splayed at all, I just twisted them into a solid line. Speaker works perfectly fine now, many thanks.

      I've used banana plugs for 30 years and this is the first time I have ever seen "compression" type plugs. All the ones I ever saw had small set screws in them. Also do not wiggle your wire stripper back and forth! Give it a spin, usually a half turn is enough.

  • @wertherland
    @wertherland Год назад +1

    So simple and yet... had this AV installer come over the other day, I had bought the exact same plugs, he wasn't able to screw back the top part all the way in to the insulating ring... I was thinking "you must be doing something wrong man". I thought about running to the computer really quick and look in RUclips... but I didn't. As it turns out, he was peeling too much copper, so that some of it was getting on TOP of the screw threads, thus, you can't screw the two parts together tightly. So basic. Thank you for the video, I might go back and redo them, since he added insulating tape every other plug to avoid contact, and looks like ass.

    Wire ends with Solder will stay intact when they will be under screw pressure i guess.

  • @brickman409
    @brickman409 24 дня назад

    still having a lot of trouble with this. Either I have too much wire on it and it becomes impossible to screw on, or it's too little and while I can get it on, it comes right off with a gentle tug. Totally tearing up the copper wire in the process, there's little shavings all over my floor. Sometimes I can get it to screw on about halfway and that holds on decently, but I worry that will have a poor connection as the wire doesn't touch all the way to the tip.
    I checked the gauge of my wire with the accepted gauge of my banana clips. The wire is 14 awg and the banana plugs say they work with 12 to 18 awg, so these should work comfortably with them. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions?

    • @brickman409
      @brickman409 20 дней назад

      Update: just looked at reviews of the banana plugs that I bought and found videos of people wiring them. They're a bit different than this. With mine you have to feed the wire through the part that screws out like with this, but the difference is, you also have to feed the wire through the other part and through one of the holes on the side, then you screw them in. I got them wired up now 👍

  • @soulintake
    @soulintake 4 месяца назад

    Those fospower ones you showed in the beginning are not splay style, they have 2 flathead screws you secure in place, and you need allot more stripped cable than .5 cm for that style. Hope this helps!

    When I had monster cable banana plugs they worked just like that. Never had a issue. I had to move and lost some of the plugs. I bought rocket fish and let me tell you they are hard to do. You have to insert a plastic thing in and it is hard. That is to keep the wire in place.. I ended up just jamming the wire up the plug. I am going to have to go on line and get some more because you cannot put wires in the plug that way

      I haven’t noticed any sound degradation. Just make sure you install them correctly and nice and tight so you don’t get any intermittent audio cutting out. 👍 Once I switched to banana plugs, I never went back since it’s been SO convenient having to review different receivers, speakers, etc

    Dude great videos would you mind doing a video on how Dolby Atmos up firing versus ceiling pair up with AV receivers i.e. front presence versus height and where to make these connections on the back of receivers particularly the TSR 700?
    I’m also confused on the TSR 700 all of the amp configurations along with coding GTS versus Atmos versus internalcontent within the receiver versus content that is coming into the receiver. It’s all very complicated to folks that are not audio engineers
