RE: Z-plugs




I agree Duster, the Multi-Contact LS4 Banana Plug looks like it would work well, especially since I am a fan of crimping. I think in general, the long, low mass BFA or Z-plug type banana may work better than audiophiles would believe because as the cable hangs, the cable weight and gravity will sustain a continual contact of the banana with the inside of the post. I crank my spades down pretty hard, and I am not going to run out and buy bananas, but I have had a spade or two loosen up over time and I suspect these bananas might not be susceptible to that. My ideal would be one made from gold-plated PCOCC copper but most appear to use a phospor bronze base metal. I have linked one that looks interesting because of the use of OFC base metal, but I personally don't like how you would have to connect the wire - if I used them I would probably solder them.
