  Nice Looking but Poor design: Cast bodies split at threads and conductive angled connector bodies short easily., November 29, 2014

  This review is from: Premium Hi-Fi Audiophile Angled Banana Plug Speaker Wire Connectors (1 Pair)

  3 out of 12 connectors split at the screw threads preventing adequate tightness and clamping torque for attaching speaker wires. The body of these units appear to be cast of aluminum or some very weak pot metal. Consequently they tend to split at the threaded screw bores for attaching the wires, preventing the screws from tightening adequately.

  Additionally these angled units are conductive (since they are all metal) and will easily short to closely spaced adjacent plugs such as in a speaker connector array on a wall plate or AVR much as they have in my home theater setup. I’ve had to resort to insulating strips between theses connectors to assure they don’t short to on another. The straight connectors fair much better in my home thater

  Good idea, poor quality control, June 12, 2013

  This review is from: Premium Hi-Fi Audiophile Angled Banana Plug Speaker Wire Connectors (1 Pair)

  I picked up 2 pair of these. Of the 4, only 2 would actually lock in any of the banana jacks I plugged them in. The other two snugged up a bit but easily pulled out and even more easily rotated (which could lead to a short). Also the locking screws of all of them had grit in the threads making them hard to rotate until I pulled them out and cleaned them off. One of the 8 set screws simply fell out when I started to unscrew it the first time. The threading in the hole was poorly done and the threads simply fell out meaning only 1 set screw on that unit worked. Finally, the metal where the wires clamp is not plated meaning they are subject to corrosion over time.

  This is a pretty good concept poorly implemented in these units.

  The mechanism for fixing the copper speaker wire in the plug is woefully poor, the threading is very week, February 5, 2015

  The product is very poorly constructed. The mechanism for fixing the copper speaker wire in the plug is woefully poor, the threading is very week, and screws were cross threaded into the plug body. The plug probe itself is well done and the screw to adjust plug friction is functional, but everything else in the connector is utter rubbish. Quality control is wholly nonexistent for this product.
