Nakamichi Excel Series 24k Gold Plated Banana Plug with (3 Feet) 12AWG Speaker Cable Wire 99.9% Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Heavy Duty Braided for Amplifier Hi-Fi Home Theatre - Black (3ft/0.9m)

The cable is good. Not so keen on the odd delivery delay. The first length I purchase took two days to arrive, I then realised I had misunderstood the item details (watch out, easily done), and needed to order another length as well. I did so, and on the day after ordered some cable from China as a comparison - the cable from China arrived only one day after this took to arrive from within the UK!Having used this cable for a while it is good, as I have said. However, it is not as good, and wide in sound as I had hoped. it sounds a tad compressed - and is probably not best for small speakers such as the LS3/5a. Going up a rung in cable prices from this is probably well worth the money for someone who has a 'good' hifi system. This is more than capable for a system with larger speakers, and more at the lower end of proper hifi.

I was looking for cables with black rugged outter shell these are spot on.And do the job well.Just been told they be selling longer reels in couple of months if ur holding off for decent cable either gets these now or buy a reel I will be for a few custom lengths a need.

I did read other reviews for these cables before buying.The materials used for the cable, trousers and connectors are all very good quality, based on a lot of years in the electronics industry.People said that the connector anodised sleeves were missing, perhaps when opening the bags! I checked the bags when they arrived, and they were all present. On opening one bag, one had gone missing. I found it on the carpet, obviously not screwed on correctly.As you can see from the photos. One set of leads at both ends were short, and only gripped by one screw on the connector at both ends. I reworked one end so it was gripped by both screws and made the other longer for the amp end.The other lead had longer stripped copper, but not all were gripped by both screws. You can see on the 3rd photo the top screw was both on the black insulation and copper.I checked all the screws and some were not very tight as i could get more movement out of the screw when tightening.My amp does not take banana plugs and requires 10mm of bare copper for the connection post.One set of connectors on each cable had to be removed anyway, to fit them to the connection posts. This meant cutting back the trouser legs. I tried a knife and that failed so I had to cut them back with side cutters.I was very surprised by the vast improvement in the sound quality. There was a much more vibrant high end frequency and sounding just sharper and cleaner in the music presentation.What I would say also is that the copper in these cables is 1/2 to 2/3 larger than my old cables from years back which were OFC.I have purchased new speakers and wanted to see if I could improve them by using better speaker cables.IT SURE DID.I would recommend upgrading your old twin figure of 8 cable to these.

I like these, good value, nicely made, and they blend in to the room (better than normal cables)

excellent quality speaker cable with banana plugs already fitted just plug into amp and speakers and away you go.

What a great choice I made , built to a height standard with very high quality in sound, you can pay a lot more of course ,I’ll stick with theseThanks.

My partner bought for me this cable but didn't realise that is a single cable and not a pair.
