NakamichiExcel Series 24k Gold Plated Banana Plug 12 AWG - 18 AWG Gauge Size 4mm for Speakers Amplifier Hi-Fi AV Receiver Stereo Home Theatre Audio Wire Cable Screw Connector 16 Pcs (8-Pairs)

Fantastic level of finish.Very easy to fit. Top quality feel. Expensive but worth it in the long run.

Nice plugs, snug fit happy with product

Difficult to get the outer sleeve on unless the grub screw is flush with the barrel, but the grub screws break too easily. I’ll try a different brand next time…

Aluminium plugs really top quality and a good price

Tad expensive for what they are but good quality

I bought these for my new amplifier to connect my speakers. It was my first time using Banana plugs and these are easy to set up and feel really well made. Once fitted the cable was very secure.

I've bought 26 pairs of these over the past few months (so 52 plugs in total) for my home cinema and garden sound systems. Overall I'm very happy with the quality and sound. If you are a true Hi-Fi connoisseur you may prefer platinum plugs but if you are more in function, value and quality these will do just fine.Across all 52 plugs there were no defects and although I purchased then in 3 different orders (11 speakers with plugs at both ends require 22 plugs - who knew?), the quality has been consistent throughout.If you are on the fence about buying banana plugs because you think that connecting bare wires to binding posts does the same job, just order some plugs. Even two pairs to get you started. The second you want to move or test something you'll be thankful you made the decision, let alone swap out your AV receiver. Thank me later.

I don’t normally bother reviewing small items like these but I’m making an exception because they really are a cut above. 1. Beautifully made 2. Double grub screw connection for a really good and reliable connection to the cable. 3. Covers screw on from the pointy end so no frustrating having to undo the wire because you forgot to thread the cover on first. 4. The pack contains a spare grub screw for when you accidentally drop one, never to be found again until you step on it barefoot a month later. 5 stars.

If you're looking for a straightforward way to improve your audio setup, these banana plugs are a great choice. They're well-made, easy to install, and deliver on their promise of improved conductivity.The gold plating ensures a secure connection, and the build quality feels solid. While they may not be the most glamorous component in your system, they're a reliable and affordable upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in sound quality.

Dudo que sean fabricados por la Nakamichi original (la marca legendaria de los 80's) pero cumplen su función al 100% y se sienten bien hechecitos. Facilísimos de instalar. En cuanto al sonido... bueno no entro en discusiones de audiófilos alucinantes, pero se oyen igualito que con el cable conectado directo al poste.

High quality product and easy to install. Nice weight to them too and the color coordinate helps quickly determine positive from negative. Knurled ends make them easy to grip.Recommend!

Considering the reputation of Nakamichi and the fact these were less than $8 I was dubious about getting authentic parts. After using them the quality seems top-notch in every way with none of the aberrations typical of cheap imitations (poor quality uneven branding/silk screening, burrs, poor machining causing gritty, uneven screw connections and driver slots that aren't deep enough, uneven depth/width, misfitting parts, inconsistent sizing, etc). These look great, work great, fit great; it's a simple part and I think the price is reasonable but some brands are over 2x the cost and I can't see them being 2x the quality and some generic parts are the same cost and I can't see them matching this quality, I only found one about $1 cheaper from some no-name Chinese manufacturer and if these aren't genuine Japanese parts they're outsourced to a higher quality standard that is up to Nakamichi's audiophile quality reputation.

Good quality but price too much
