Thanks everyone! I appreciate the helpful links and getting them on sale would be great. I'll check out the Viborg, and also looked at the DH Labs bananas, they seem nice too. it's been a bit of rabbit hole to decide between spades, or bare wire, etc!
WBT Banana Connectors
I recently acquired some Canare 4s11G to make speaker cables. 10ft runs, for JBL L100s and a Marantz 2270. Has anyone used, or a fan of the the WBT Bananas? I am considering the copper version, silver a bit out of budget. Also would welcome hearing experiences on working with them making cables. Thank you!

Thanks @carlsbad and @mbolek . Those look interesting too! @joshua43214 this is exactly why I've been going down this rabbit hole. I'm worried about the weight and stiffness of the cables too, and also managing what to do on the back of the Marantz with the small spring connections. Was thinking banana but I'm not changing out frequently, maybe I'll give spades another look. Fun to learn, thank you again everyone for all the good leads. |
I was thinking to trim a strand or two away from the copper and just go bare into the Marantz. (is that a crazy idea?) I was lucky and found a 2270 with no mods and clean, I’m going to leave it original for sure. Great ideas about strain relief on the cables. @dabel – what cables and speakers are you enjoying with your 2270? @mbolek - yes it is! 😄 Appreciate all of the info above! Lots to think about + excited to get these speaker cables to work. |
