vandersteens, anyone have some good sources, recomendations?Have you checked the Radio Shack? They have a pretty well made singles and duals. Yes, I know, not the right name, but you can always cover it with some fancy shrink tubing.

RS banana jacks, both single and dual, are not that great, ESPECIALLY the gold plated ones, they lose their spring quickly, and do not make good contact to begin with.The good bananas are the WBT and the Monster locking kinds. All most everything else that does not lock is drek. My opinion.

Actually I've been very surprised by the tenacity of the connection made by the lightweight bananas that Nordost offers as an option on their speaker cables. I always preferred spades for the ability to tighten 'em down, but the rolled metal Nordosts dont lose their "spring" or grip no matter how often I connect or disconnect. Oh yeah, I didnt go in to it looking for these, I ordered my cable with spades and it came with these on the speaker end. I took 'em home to try and they didnt go back.BTW, Nordost feels they are better sounding than spades and other bananas, something to do with their very low mass, but I dont really know if there is anything to that (although they are very simple, 1 part, low mass affairs)...
