Just wanna say that this was a super-helpful video! I am technology-deficient, but after watching this, I managed to connect my new eltax speakers to my new Luxman amplifier and my new Technics CD-player... -- and it all works! Nothing exploded! I can hear music! Thank you!

I didn’t know it was that easy to connect bare wire to a banana plug! Thanks for showing how simple it is!

One of my studio monitors stopped working and after spending $$$ I found this video and just realised that I only needed to cut the ends of my strand cables for them to work again. Thanks for this video. 👍 You just saved me $$$. I’ve returned the new monitors as I no longer need them anymore😊

Dude, this was the cleares video I have seen the whole day, and believe me, I have seen sh#t ton of videos to set up my sound system. Keep it up bruh.

my dad tried to explain this to me yesterday but this makes things SO much clearer. thanks!

Thank you so much for producing a video that is efficient and helpful from beginning to end. I can't stand video tutorials where the first minute and a half consist of the creator explaining what the video is about (that's what titles are for).

[estalinayala]

WOW, THANKS SO MUCH...I FIXED MY CONNECTION THANKS TO YOUR TUTORIAL, THE BLIND COLOR EXAMPLE WAS HELPFUL TOO.

I like the presentation result from turning the completed join.
Haven't see that before, and it was really helpful.

Excellent tutorial, I will be buying some of these banana plugs.

I thought that was you Aaron, nice video! Who would’ve known I’d see an old friend making a video that I needed.

This is an excellent straight forward video, thank you.

[MrMetFanSC]

Great video my friend! Nice simple but practical information for those out there that are just getting into this hobby.

Love the editing!

Thanks for the video - what if I have 4 conductor speaker wire? How would I connect them to a banana plug?
