From reading the forums I see a lot of people buy from monoprice. I think someone here also bought from there. Might be the cheapest alternative.

Got a lot of choices in ebay. Nakamichi one looks like a good deal. Not sure how's the material is though.

I think it is mpyw. But, he told me that a few of it didn't last long Kimber banana plug ok?

jchong, since you are going to repair your special OTO SE, you can ask abt their AN banana plug. I think it is a dizzying RM50/plug.

Kimber looks solid but I don't like the idea of only 1 grub screw unless you have good hand with solder.

This one looks good enuf if you want them cheap....Nakamichi....plus got 2 grub screws more secure.

those ar...yesterday I use a screw driver to pry the thing out a bit and it's as good as new again and fit tightly

Asking is no problem... buying is the problem!

At RM50 each, cost of the plugs will outweigh the cables. Anyway, I'm using bare wire connection now. But if I ever decide to use bananas I still have a few pairs of bananas from Monitor Audio (leftover from earlier years). Nice solid pieces.

Have you bought this item? The seller can be trusted~~~?

bro, you also interested in getting them uh?

4mm is the diameter.. ur Belden 1131a 12 awg should fit la bro.. u only need the core.. it can fit up to 8 AWG

the rating shows he's a power seller with 4k+ pts.. of course can be trusted.. but i haven't ordered yet... still lookin around..

For a RM50 a plug I rather go CMY and ask them to crimp Airloc banana. If I still remember correctly, it should cost less than RM50 a plug.

Those ebay Nakamichi banana all same la. Just the body different. I prefer plastic body for security reason. If it crack later can just take it out n use heat shrink instead....or simply buy some more coz they are cheap

if i remember correctly CMY charge RM 38-40 per Airloc termination..

the Nakamichi's is demn cheap.. so i do wonder whether real one or ciplak

I am also thinking about the Kimber's banana plugs.
If there are spades, I will also consider.

AN banana plug is very expensive here.
Over in Lion City, AN is selling at SGD15 each.

As long as it can fit my cable will be fine. Thanks!
