2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing in every way
I bought these hoping for an upgrade after one my old banana plugs - also Nakamichis, but the regular gold-plated ones, so cheaper than these - came apart. I use banana plugs at both ends - speakers and amp.These fancy berillium ones look the part and weigh quite a bit so they feel like quality banana plugs, but that's about all they get right. They're very fiddly to fit - once you've got the cable end in place and clamped it in place by tightening both screws, it's then really difficult to screw the jacket/cover on. Maybe my cable was a bit too thick for these, but I never had that issue with my old Nakamichi plugs.With a pair of pliers, a bit of persistence and some choice language, I eventually got them on, so I plugged them into the amp and speakers, sat back and played some mucis, expecting to enjoy the rewards of my efforts. But no, things went from bad to worse: the sound was very noticably impaired compared to how it had been with the old plugs; the frequency extremese were rolled off, so really deep bass and top-end (hi-hats, cymbals, etc) were muted, and the whole presentation just seemed a bit veiled, a bit less clear and sharp than it had been.I gave them a chance, stuck with them for a week or so, then decided I'd had enough. I took them off and went right back to basics, did away with plugs altogether and just went bare-cable-ends to amp/speaker terminals. And voila, clarity and presence were back in abundance.If you've got a system that needs taming - maybe too bright in the treble, or too boomy in the low bass - then these might be just what you need. But you will also lose some clarity and detail too.
They Work - With A Caveat
Quality feel and appearance; however, had to return as the sleeves on each and every one of the banana plugs were screwed down so tightly from the factory that they were impossible to remove, thus rendering the plugs useless. I took a chance and ordered replacements which had no issues. Installation went smoothly (no fitment issues using 12 AWG speaker wire), the plugs fit securely and the sound is great. Or, to state it more accurately, the banana plugs did not result in any degradation to the sound. Very happy and would not hesitate to purchase again.
Nakamishi ? magnifique !
Fiches bananes très classe ! Elles acceptent les cables 4mm qui s insèrent sans problème. Elles sont très bien réalisées, solides. Contrairement à ce que l'on peut lire ci et là, les fiches bananes ne changent rien au son par rapport au cable nu. C'est juste plus pratique et propre lors de l'installation, et si vous manipulez/changez votre configuration souvent. Un élément indispensable pour soigner la partie invisible de votre ampli.
