Doing a bit of DIY cable here soon, does anyone use a wall-hung (not well-hung :lol:) LSiC with nanners? I'm using locking bananas and just wonder if I should use spades because of clearance? Thoughts? Spade recommendations?

Actually I'm using canare from BJC, and I ordered these - (USA seller my ****)

Thinking about ordering these though, I'm going to wait and see how the cheep ones work out and look -

    cody they are located in Canada and will cost more to ship + import tax I believe. Find a us vendor.

    Hm, didn't see that. I think that the ones I ordered will have a bit of a collar on them, so it should give it a smooth look, we'll see. I really like the look of the angled ones though, right now I'm most concerned that the ones I ordered wont work with a center hanging on the wall, anybody using any locking nanners that style with the keyhole mount on an LSiC?

    If they make it , I find the angled Banana plugs to be the best option. Another trick is to cut out the drywall where the banana plugs would hit the wall.
    I also think the LSIC sounds it's best mounted on the wall.

    I LOVE mine, I felt that my CSi5 had a 'boxey' sound sometimes, but never with my LSiC. Of course, Mr. Jim Ackley modded it himself, so I can't speak for a stock LSiC. I'm excited to give new cables a chance, at the very least it will cleanup behind my rig, and look a lot better than 10 year old monster cable I'm using and the montage of random RCA's.

    Anybody have any recomendations on spades, might be my best option since i have it wall mounted, looking for a clean look.
