I have been reading the previous posts here on Banana Plugs and have a few more questions.
I am getting the Onkyo 898 next week and I have decided to use Banana Plugs at least on the reciever side for ease of installation. I really think it would be best if I used single straight in Banana Plugs instead of the dual side crimping style.
I found a couple Phoenix dual Banana Plugs that I will use on my speakers, but I really don't see an advantage over using bare wire on the speaker.
On to my questions. Is there any advantage of soldering over the crimp style? Is gold plated better then silver? Is there really any advantage to the more expensive ones vs. the cheap radio shack ones?
I have read about the $.60 radio shack silver crimp style and more expensive ones. Is there any advantage to these $4 or more plugs?
I am sorry if this has been posted 100 times already.
Thanks,
Mark
