    I just bought a few bananas from Blue Jeans. They have an extra little gold piece that I'm not sure what it is for?

    Maybe if you're using really small wire it's a little extension for the post that holds things down? Or maybe it's supposed to go in before you screw the bolt thing in for more surface area that will make contact with the wire?

    That is for side entry. Most plugs will accept 10-12 ga through the back and 6-8 ga through the side.

    And please get your minds out of the gutter. ;-)

    i got 8 pairs of banana plugs from parts express. As you might expect, there is no noticeable difference in sound, but they make everything look nice and tidy :)

    Ditto on the nanners making no real difference in sound, but Im anal (again, keep your mind outta the gutter) and like everything behind the amp to be nice and organized. Including all matching interconnects. It bothers me that my PS2 inputs dont match all my other ARproII interconnects. Audiophile OCD is a ****.

    LOL! I'm just happy that my parts express bananas look just like coaxial and RCA cables!
