I just got some Zebracables, and I cant see where Banana plugs go in.
The Lsi9s have red and black plastic where the plugs should go in but I'm not seeing a way to take em off...any suggestions?

    Unscrew the nut (corrent terminology?) and pry off the little plastic nub with a knife.

    Thanks guys
    I knew the lugs had to come off but those plastic buggers where giving me a problem, I finally got them off.
    I have been using 10AWG THX monsters from awhile back and I thought they were good, after plugging the Zebras in I noticed an imediate difference! Wow!
    I had no idea cables could make such a difference I was always a doubter in that area especially since I thought I had decent cables to begin with, I really do hear a difference and its not my imagination, its my ears!

    The best way to describe the difference is that before compared to now it seems the Monsters were leaving out pockets of the frequency. Now it seems like all frequencies are equally loud....If that makes sense, it's completely true

    Now that's weird. I also noticed the same thing on my Monster IC's, that I foolishly spent $200 on before I knew about high end companies.

    Are those Zebras already terminated with bananas? If not, you're probably better off going bare wire.
