Flex-pin speaker cable connector

In my experience, a gold plated braided copper wire flex-pin is a better type vs. a rigid gold plated brass pin that provides less surface contact area, and is prone to be pulled-out of a typically weak spring-loaded terminal.

A braided copper flex-pin tends to provide much better grip on spring-loaded terminals, with decent conductivity for that type of interface vs. a brass pin.

Wire gauge shouldn't limit your choice even with spring terminals. :)

  Sometimes a speaker cable connector is a better sounding option than bare wire, anyway. Signal transfer is not always as intuitive as one might think. Contact surface area with a firm mechanical interface can be a key to better sounding signal transfer. Then again, I have loudspeakers in my collection that I use bare wire with 5-way binding posts, so I'm not such a cable snob as some folks might think, E-Stat ;-)
