Bananas over ARC VT-100

The banana was not locking.

There is a hole in the binding post but it's awfully tight. Trying to cram a banana end into it is near impossible. They almost look like they'd take a smaller version of a banana end, like a plantain banana. I think I'm going to break it if I push any harder.

Loosening the binding screw does nothing.

I called ARC but they can't help me till Monday.

Sell the cables? You'd have to pry them from my cold dead fingers first.

Thanks for the comments so far. Keep them coming

The light bulb just came on!

The holes are there, just a little to small. the teminal blocks are solid brass. I think I can just drill them out a tiny bit more and the new banana's will fit

I'll let you know what happens if I attempt this

Garfish,

Just a pair of Nordost SPM's

Here's an update, I took a blow torch and #$$%#&**%^

OOPS! wrong thread,

Actually the Nordost cables arrived today and they do fit YEA!

Before they arrived I tried to jam an MIT banana end into the hole that absolutly would not fit.

Captain,

I'm not sure why you would call the banana connection midfi? As for the amp, Yes I sold it but only to upgrade to the MK III version, which works equally well with the bananas. Matter of fact I'm using bananas at the speakers too with excellent results. Are you familuar with the Nordost Banana end? It's actually pretty sweet.
