Without the proper connector - it's just wire!" That's why we use high-quality, direct-gold-plated connectors in our own speaker cable assemblies, and now, we are offering these same high-quality terminations to those of you you would like to build your own cables.
Direct gold-plating eliminates any undesirable sonic issues that occur with lower-cost methods that use intermediate metals.
Keep in mind that these terminations are intended for professional use, so either soldering or high-pressure crimping is required.
These termination are sold by the pair (two connectors) #DB banana plugs are sold by the set (one black and one red).
At the right we have included some examples of how the finished terminations look on Canare Star Quad speaker cables.
With today's high quality audio/video systems, one of the most important components has become the cables and their connectors. Vampire Wire has been researching and developing the highest level products since 1979.
Termination kits typically come with the connectors of your chaise, along with professional-grade high-ratio 9:3 heat-shrink tubing. HDSS6-KIT is shown here.
Here is an example of a finished termination using Vampire Wire #HDS5 spades - notice the elongated, offset blade, which is a good fit for most equipment. The design also leaves plenty of room for heat-shrink coverage.
Vampire Wire #SS9 spades are our second most popular. They have a stepped blade, which works with many different binding posts, including oversized designs such as those used on most B&W speakers. This picture shows the connectors installed on Canare Star Quad cable.
Our BAR10 spades fit #10 terminal screws or barrier strips, such as those used on Vandersteen 2Ce and conductors up to 10 AWG . This picture shows the connectors installed on Canare 4S11 Star Quad cable. Silver/Nickel-plating over copper.
Here are the #DB double banana plugs. Sold by the set, as shown here.
