banana plugs?
Most hi-fi amps have banana socket outputs. I found these bananas to
maintain connection integrity for a longer period of time than spade lug or bare wire connections. Most pro amps have banana socket outputs in addition to speakon (if they have speakon). Using bananas makes it much easier to make changes in the amp rack than using speakons, spades, or bare wires. "Michael Dombrowski" wrote in message ... Just out of curiousity, what do you use banana plugs for in audio? Thanks Mike |

In article "Sugarite" writes: How important are banana plugs to overall sound quality? I'm using the Radio Shack ones with the little set screws that fall out. They're very important if the plugs come out of the jacks, or if the wires come out of the plugs. Either will make a drastic change in your sound quality - better or worse, depending on what you're playing at the time. Should I be using something better? You should be using plugs that don't fall apart. I use banana plugs on the speakers in my studio. The wires are secured by screws and the screws don't fall out. Get some other plugs, or don't use them at all. Most things that take banana plugs take something else - terminal lugs, bare wires, fruit flies. -- I'm really Mike Rivers ) However, until the spam goes away or Hell freezes over, lots of IP addresses are blocked from this system.

I don't know about sound quality, but if you care about reliability you should probably not be using bananas at all. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I think Mike has mentioned this before but Planet Waves guitar cords have this nice little expander ring that functions much like a banana plug. I wouldn't want to use a regular cord after using these. |

Then what do you use banana jacks for? To get the banana up high enough to install the plug, of course. DO'H oheareATmagmaDOTca |
