Hey,

I got a new amp from Doro (Thanks man, it's awesome looking ;)) but it only accepts banana plugs which I don't have on any of my cables.

Anybody have a set or three that they want to get rid of on the cheap?

Let me know...

Thanks

    3 or 4 it is. I've got Fluke nanner's that I can send to you. LMK.

    define cheap:D
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I think Ascubie has you covered but Monoprice is a good suggestion otherwise.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Wow... Thanks guys!

    I guess I should ask, since I wasn't clear at all in my original post: How hard is it to put 'naner's on stranded cable? Would it be better to just get new cables with banana plugs already attached?

    Let me know. I don't really soder or anything over here :D

    Again, thanks for the fast replies!

    Get banana plugs, they are easy to install. For example: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2801&seq=1&format=2

    Pretty cheap on Ebay. 10 for $15 shipped. No solder, just insert the twisted wire and tighten the screws down. These are the BFA type which I prefer.

    I'll echo Monoprice. Good "nanners", cheap and they ship fast!!

    I saw some in a store yesterday for some ungodly amount of money for the same things. As in 5-6 times the price.

    They are BFA type bananas. I think they give a firmer hold and wear better. Especially if you swap your cables in and out a bunch. The other type , the springs get scrunched in after a while.

    Well, he was upping his post count to sell a hacked up SRT system for way too much money. But it's nice to know he had some.

    He sold all of his vinyl though. That is nice to know when we view 18 threads with his POS SRT system for sale.

    Of course we have his other VERY INFORMATIVE posts:
    no i don't. sorry.
    Wow that's a crazy list.
    Yes it is.
    Good stuff from all of you thanks
