Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound.


What banana plugs (or other connectors) do you use to connect amp to speakers:
  • construction material
  • configuration
  • coating
  • contact enhancer
  • method for affixing wire to connector
  • etc.
Thanks for your contribution.

Yep, it seems the quality of the connectors is much more important than the cable between them.  If you calculate the right gauge, any cable will do. But the terminus is the thing. I run the cables all the way to the driver and solder the connection - the advantages of building your own. Soldered banana plugs the other end so they can be easily cleaned. 
Fact Check @ eric_squires, Gold is malleable / ductile by comparison. 
Copper, Silver, and Gold - Hard to Soft
As @cakids (and others) pointed out can be an effective plating element and conductivity is another matter.
I've posted this before in other threads and it looks like it's needed here;

It seems using any kind of connector degrades the signal.

All the best,
