I see these for sale in white and gray. What's the difference, if any?
The banana plugs on these cables have a hard ball in the end of the connector that will not fit in the terminals on my ARC VT-100 Mk III power amp. The power amp's terminals take every other kind of banana plug I have ever seen. Is there a work-sround for this problem?
Thanks,
George

You could always swap them for the iconn spade version. Maybe those would fit?
Does backing off the nut part way, or all the way off, on the amp binding post help at all?
Lastly, decreasing the diameter of the ball with a little filing would help. Knowing you could replace them with new ones if you ever needed to re-sell the cables. Again, assuming they are the iconn type.
Cheers!

"I know just enough to get into trouble. But not enough to get out of it."
If your MIT Terminator 2 speaker cables feature the removable/modular MIT iconn connector system, you can unscrew and remove the stock spring leaf banana plug and build a DIY BFA connector by soldering a brass nut onto the entry point of a rolled copper alloy BFA connector such as the Multi-Contact LS4 BFA/banana plug. I happened to do this modification for a pair of MIT Terminator 2 speaker cables for use with a studio monitor, and found the DIY BFA connector to sound better than the stock banana plug. I was lucky enough to already have on hand some gold plated brass nuts that worked very well for the application. Perhaps you might be able to find the same for your needs, but a nickel plated or bare brass nut might still be a worthy option to consider as a pragmatic compromise.

Weird! Never heard of this problem before.
Obviously this solution not ideal but you might try "stacking" the MIT plugs into another set of plugs. That's assuming they will fit! The Cardas plugs are "normally" stackable.
