CNCESS CESS-162 Pin Banana Plug to 4mm Female Banana Jack/Speaker Wire, 4 Pack (Screw-Type to 4mm)

I like things to be easy and have economy of effort. These banana Plug adaptors fill the bill. I have an older receiver with spring clip speaker terminals. I wanted the convenience of using prewired speaker cable with banana clips to make receiver to speakers easier to connect, without having to strip wire, and jam the exposed wires into the spring clips. Purchase these adaptors and "Bob's your uncle." The adaptors are well made and of solid quality...and so easy to use. This product is perfect for the intended use and receives the Lazy Man two thumps up stamp of approval.

These are super high quality and a really cool product. I have a vintage receiver that only accepts pin type connectors. I prefer using banana cables rather than dealing with bare stripped speaker cable that always breaks apart over time and takes more effort to plug and unplug.I've spent years looking for something like this, and finally I feel like I have a great product I'm excited about. It's super high quality for the price. Can't recommend these enough.

So far so good. Conducts the signal well. I was concerned if the weight of the cable would pull the banana connector out of the binding post, but it holds the banana pins well. I bought these a while ago, but just using them now. I should've been using them. The pin connectors I had plugged in were bending under the weight. These braided flexible connectors are perfect for the spring clips.

Nice option and worked fine for me.

These are great and very much needed if experimenting with various speaker cables and older stereo equipment and dont want to modify vintage gear. Ive made my own for years with same construction but these are nice and cheap enough to avoid the hassle. Extra thumbs up on these !

These flexible wire pins are well designed and manufactured. I prefer the flex pins as I believe they provide more contact with these clumsy old speaker terminal posts on this old Marantz receiver (and my old McIntosh equip. too). But the flex design and weight of all the fitting connected cause them to flop over … a little cable management remedies that. One of the problems I’ve had with these type of connections is that they are so CLOSE together, they easily touch each other and short-out the speakers. I have literally had to TAPE other connectors to keep them from touching. These housings are fully insulated so that is no longer a problem.The only minor complaint I have is how tight the banana ports are … I had trouble fully seating the bananas … but I suppose that means the surface contact is ideal. Anyway, I got enough penetration with two different type of bananas … a flex coil model and an expanding plug … that the sound is superb. And I do like the fact that these plugs are designed to receive a banana (not a wired connection). Pretty much plug and play for the homemade speaker cables.

For testing or working on equip these are helpful so you always have easy on banana plugs from the bench gear and can attach fast to older gear that doesn't have banana plugs available. Time is money.Good for demo'ing various gear when cleaning out an attic full of quality but older gear, and the buyer wants to hear it run. I have a Yamaha M-45 power amp with no banana hooks for that purpose. I installed these permanently on that amp as it's a backup amp now - and can easily hook to anything.BTW, you can buy the inexpensive banana plug ends here on the Zon, and once you do one or two, you will find they are EASY to install on wire ends!! 3/8ths inch or a hair less -- bare wire is about right. I got the Mediabridge nice ones here ant the Zon and am thrilled. I can literally do one in under a minute start to finish with my one step wire stripper tool, and it's a NICE TIGHT "solid" connection that isn't going away.Have a large McIntosh system, main system, for reference.

Works great on a mini amp I have powering my vintage Boston Acoustic book shelves - works great. I like the flexibility to accommodate the small amp.
