Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!


Here is a new product from KLE Innovations...
https://kleinnovations.com/kle-innovations-klei-products/klei-qseries/klei-qseries-speaker-binding-p...

I have not tried them, but I have tried many of their other speaker cables and I have tried the Banana plugs used on them.

The Banana plugs allow you to plug the speaker cables directly into the back of them

All of their products are outstanding and work extremely well - I have no reason to believe these will not live up to their stellar reputation

Enjoy - Steve

If you have Radio Shack bananas already why wouldn’t you compare them yourself. If you want cheap why would you want KLE Innovations bananas. Why do you want others to follow your post? I guess that you must be enjoying the Radio Shack bananas?

Amazing, and I think that the KLE Innovations bananas sound amazing.
Let’s see, there are 8 bananas, so that is about US$12ea.
45X less is about US0.30ea.
Which Radio Shack bananas are you buying for 30 cents each?
Nope, didn’t suggest that at all. I asked, " Which Radio Shack bananas are you buying for USD 30 cents each?"

Lets see there are 8 bananas, AUD$129 is about USD$103.
103/45 (times) = $2.29
2.29/8 bananas = 29.6 cents each (USD)

So, which Radio Shack bananas are you buying for USD 30 cents each, and which Radio Shack outlet are you buying them from?

It is all good my friend, and doesn’t really matter. Perhaps, the best thing you can do is not to stay incensed and just do what REL suggests. You will probably enjoy your system more by doing that. It does appear that the Radio Shack bananas do not work for you either but hopefully the "Nak" BFA connectors will work for you.

You know lots of cars look similar, like several makes of cars look like mercs, but are they mercs. I don’t think so but perhaps some do think so because they look similar.
There are genuine French perfumes, and there are those that look the same and even imitate them, but are they as good?

There is Penfolds Grange red wine that costs $800 a bottle and looks less impressive and cheaper than a blingy $5 bottle of red wine. Which one would you like to drink, if $$$ were not an issue.

Isn’t it great that we have a choice regardless peoples opinions.
What do you now like compared to before? Do you think more hours of play time would be beneficial. Williewonka suggested more than 120hrs.

Has anyone tried the KLE jumpers?
With soldering I use a small blade screwdriver to apply a small amount of pressure on the bare wire being soldered (next to the insulation) while soldering, especially as the solder is cooling. This is to ensure that the bare wire and metal surface have very good contact and that the solder acts as a holder and sealer of the wire and metal surface (joint) and does not act as a conductor of the joint. It is not good to rely on solder as the conductor of the joint as solder is a poor conductor.  I find very high eutectic solder to be best.

When done like this, soldering is way better than screws and ensures that the join is held well and sealed, so that joint oxidation (etc) does not occur. Screws can damage the wire through pressure and the screwing action and does not prevent joint oxidation. Joint oxidation can also occur with crimping. Soldering, though, is usually a bit slower but if done well, very effective.
Glad you like the KLE bananas, me too, very much. 

I am still using and enjoying the KLE bananas as an adapter and I am still amazed at the improvement of the sound by using them as an adapter. It works and that is all that is important for me and that is great for us. I think that they are relatively cheap, relative to the sound improvement.

All part of the fun and quite amazing but I guess that we probably shouldn’t be surprised because there other products can also be quite amazing.

I guess I prefer soldering to screws, although I am a bit lazy nowadays, but I guess everyone has a preference. I used to build alot of DIY amps, preamps, speakers, perhaps too many. There are lots of good components available, nowadays, so I find no real need to DIY, at least at the moment, to enjoy my music. I guess the main thing is that enjoying listening to music is also fun.

This has worked for me... you can use a small hobby vice, put a cheap banana upside down in the vice (like a Radio Shack banana), and put the back of the KLE banana pin onto the cheap banana pin held in the vice. Guess what, the vice acts like the third hand, that you mentioned, and you now have your 2 hands free to hold the wire, small screw driver, solder, and iron. The cheap banana held in the vice also acts as a useful heat sink. You can also do something like this to hold a circuit board to make soldering much easier.

Tin definitely oxidizes, doesn’t it? I am sure I have seen tin go quite blackish but maybe I am wrong. Just did a google and it appears that tin is resistant to oxidization but I wonder just how much and for how long.

Is this correct... the Duelund wire uses an oiled material which helps prevent wire oxidation and damps wire vibration?

The thread is about the KLE jumpers but I guess no one has tried them, as yet?
Have a look at Eichmann Ratio. KL (KLE) has used the Eichmann Ratio since 2000/2001. It is indicated throughout their literature.

Why aren’t you making some jumpers. Have soldering iron, KLE bananas, and Dueland wire can make and solder.
Have a look at Eichmann Ratio. KL (Keith Louis Eichmann) has used the Eichmann Ratio since 2000/2001 and it is indicated throughout the KLEI literature and KLEI Story.
as previously mentioned, above.

You would think all cable companies would know about this one.
are you suggesting that if cable companies don’t know this that they are just wire companies who believe that they know everything but really don’t know everything. Companies such as Dueland, WE, Belden, AQ, Nordost, Cardas, Tara and so many others (maybe even NASA).

Maybe there is only one that truly knows and the journey continues if we have enough money and time.
