I'm glad that this video continues to help people.

THIS is how you YouTube! you make a 1 minute video for a tip, not a 10+ minute video with an intro and a vlog and a quick trip to the store and an interview and a review and an outro. good job

The perfect video. No fuss. No preamble. No five minute story about how this tip was handed down from your ancestors.

I had no idea what a banana plug was, or how to connect speaker cables. I'd never had separate speakers before, but that's what the store gave me. I went from totally ignorant to knowing exactly what to do in a minute. Great.

Over seven years have passed, and your video has not lost one iota of utility. I had not fallen back from using plugs for years until getting a new receiver, and it took me about 15 YouTube videos and four articles of wheel-spinning before your video hammered home the basic facts that I had forgotten from 5 or 6 years ago. There is a lot of trash content out there, but you sir are not contributing to that pile. Thank you for the concise, complete and coherent instructions!

Techmoan, thank you for posting a simple and concise video explaining this. You are a shining example of someone who gets TO THE POINT.

I've had my AV receiver for four years, and have only JUST realised those were caps. I've had banana plugs sitting around for four years, waiting for an upgrade. No need. I love you, Techmoan.

Thanks, 10 years after you posted it, I found it and now I know.

[serkanokar]

The most helpful YouTube video I've ever watched. A true revelation. All these years, I've been using the method of connecting the bare speaker wires through the little opening of the binding post which is excruciatingly painful and torturous process. Im in heavens now!! Why this helpful information can never be found in the av receivers users manual is a crime. Thanks for sharing this info. God bless you.

Almost returned a set of banana plugs but this great video saved it, thank you.
Also to confirm Onkyo has the same thing...

Amazing! So much work saved by watching your 70 second clip. I'm setting up an 11.2 AV configuration, I bought super duper cable and quality plugs. Being a man with the 'don't read the manual' attitude I was cursing my lovely new Pioneer amp when it wouldn't take the plugs. You've saved the day! Thanks!

These lugs have been sitting in my Denon 3805 for almost 14 years. Only now when I need to buy new cables have I discovered banana plugs and their ease of use. Many thanks and subscribed.

Techmoan -- you just added years to my life! I've been battling with connecting five speakers to my Yamaha AV receiver and it has been driving my crazy. Your short, concise videos gives me all the info I need to convert to banana plugs. THANK YOU!

[HarryKoppel]

Technoman, my hero!! I´ve tried so many times to find out how to connect the banana plugs to my Yamaha receiver, I bought all sorts of banana plugs to no avail. How simple it was. Great video!

[memotube]

Literally have watched like 20 videos until I found yours and is GOLD! Extremely concise, illustrative and in less of a minute I got rid of my doubts. Thanks a lot!

[gravey]

I realised this a week ago after owning a marantz for 15 years and getting it back out of storage recently.
Your video confirms my suspicions on using banana plugs. Thankyou!
