Bananas

129.170.95.208

Hi trancemitr,

I would suggest trying some Ixos bananas (their top of the line ones).. my roommate is using them in his system and they are by far the tightest bananas I've ever seen. I normally wouldn't recommend them because most people probably can't even push them in, but after the braiding I bet your hand strength and durability exceeds that of most people :) The way they're designed keeps the wires screwed in very tight (the screw is at the base, near the plug), while my Phoenix Gold bananas loosen the wire sometimes when I plug them in (the screw is at the top of the banana, so twisting the banana sometimes makes the wire fall out of the plug!). Also, I plan on ordering a smaller size of Techflex.. I think the 1/2" will be a slightly better fit, although the 3/4" works pretty well too.
