Banana plugs

[PatD]

Hi, I have Chord signature speaker cable with their banana plugs. The plugs fit into my speaker terminals but are a little loose but they don’t move or fall out. I don’t detect any loss in quality of sound. Shall l continue and leave well alone?
Cheers.

most speakers terminals can take plugs in two ways, assuming you currently just push in those plugs can you also loosen the terminals to reveal a hole through which wire or indeed a banana plug could go. loosen it, push the plug in and then tighten it. Solved.

I have that option too. But l think l am ok with current set up. I just thought there might be loss in music quality.
But everything sounds good sonically. The plug won’t fall out and there’s nothing that can pull it out.Apparently there’s a way to tighten the plug but l can’t do it.

If all is good, then all is good.

After a good bit of tricking about with different banana plugs, I have come down on the side of the z-cut simple ones with the cable soldered to them (although I do have screw terminal ones that seem to work well). These seem to me to up there with security of fitting you get from spades but much easier to use.

So if the connection isn’t good you would basically get no sound?

Without knowing the exact issue...
you might get an occasional dropout but I'm sure you'd notice that.
for me I couldn't relax 100% when listening but that's just me. I need to know everything is making the best possible contact. That's just me.
