    Default Good place to buy banana plugs?

    Can anyone recommend a good place to buy online? Looking for reasonably-priced, but decent plugs. I was thinking about going the ebay route:

    At that price I'd probably buy them. Those look identical to the plugs I've had some issues with including today. I was removing the plug from my new 340C and it separated. This is the third one that has done that. I bought them at closeout last year from Parts Express for way cheap so I'm not at all disappointed.
    I did replace them with these at a higher cost and have had no issues.

    Big difference in price. No difference in sound.

    I have some crimp on Onix bananas from av123 that did the job at a good price.

    Take a look at glsaudio.com then click on the link, speaker repair.com. Thy have many types of banana plugs and the more you buy the lower the cost per unit. They look really good too.

    Just received a set from this ebay seller. Good price, solid plugs. Honest seller. My order was short a few pairs & they shipped the balance out immediately. Thanks for the tip, folks. A+++++

    I just bought some of the GLS Audio ones from Speaker Repair. They are pretty nice, but one of them had a messed up set screw and it isn't usable. I should send them a note and see if I can get a replacement.

    Reviving an old thread. I'm pretty sure I checked the gauge rating on the plugs when I bought them, but my 14g wire slips out (side entry plugs from ebay) so I had to double-back the ends so they stay put. Is this ok to do?
