Thanks! My current plan is to play with different gauge combinations (two different gauges into each banana plug) until it "looks like the pictures." Then I'll buy the stranded wire at those gauges and construct. I'm not much of a solderer, but it's my understanding that I want to get a good mechanical contact between the wire and the plug before I flood it with solder. I suppose that might mean crimping somewhat.

Then again, folks also recommend tinning the wire (and sometimes the plug) before soldering it onto the plug. My untrained instinct tells me I want a tight mechanical connection before getting solder on the wire.

I will report on my the results after I get the thing built. The plugs arrived at JFK this morning!!!

May the bridges we burn light our way....
