He very well may not have read the entire thread, but he is correct in that I did post false information on page 2! I have subsequently corrected the post on page 2 so as to not provide false information to anyone in the future, but a copy of the wrong information may be seen 2 posts below in Minermarks post.

I was taught the part about Watt and swallowed it to get it right on tests. Remember this was way before the internet, I'm an old geezer. Apparently P = IE is a combo of Joules Law and Ohm's Law: Resistive circuits In the case of resistive (Ohmic, or linear) loads, Joule's law can be combined with Ohm's law (V = I·R) to produce alternative expressions for the amount of power that is dissipated: where R is the electrical resistance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I'd like to revisit the thread and focus on specific brands and types of banana plugs. I think what I want is something with a non-metalic case and I think I like the locking tip plugs. If you know of any promotions that might be helpful. I am looking to replace all the junk Monoprice screw top banana plugs, so I am looking for at least 40 pieces for a couple of AVR's. I am leaning towards the Mediabridge plugs due to the plastic casing and the Amazon 4.9 out of 5-star rating. I will using mostly Monoprice 12 awg and some 14 awg speaker wire. I'd like your opinions or preferences of the following, in no particular order. If you have another suggestion, I'd like to hear that too. Price is not the primary driving force. 1. GLS locking plugs. I really like these and they were mentioned earlier in the thread. It is the locking feature I like. I always read the Amazon negative reviews first and the quality control comments on these bothered me. These rated 4.1 out of 5 stars on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/GLS-Audio-Locking-Generation-Connector/dp/B000O8AHLA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1512535036&sr=1-1&keywords=gls+audio+banana+plugs 2. Mediabridge - I like the way the wire locks into the plug. This is the 24 pack I linked to in which the Amazon rating is 4.9 for 500 reviews. 3. Sewell deadbolt plugs. Another top rated model. A rating of 4.8 from 3,400 reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebuy Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I just use cheap BP from PartsExpress--they have one screw and a colored jacket. The plug just has to hold the wire and since I'm not moving wires around all the time I really don't need fancy BP's. They sound fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The spring in the Deltron are the tightest in the industry. No locking feature necessary as it takes almost 10 lbs of force just to move them. It's the first thing you notice when you go to plug everything in.....they be very tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I've had a few sets of the GLS locking plugs for about four years or so. I like them. I am going to need a few more and will likely get the same. Note that they are 100% metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the open screw type? I have used those as well and I like them. They accommodate very large wire with no problem. I don't like my current Monoprice plugs for a couple of reasons, one of which is they advertise they can handle 12 awg wire when in fact they won't handle their own very nice 12 awg wire. The wire is so thick it won't fit into the plug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard of Deltron before. Can you suggest a model, and a vendor? +++ Quote @JMONI've had a few sets of the GLS locking plugs for about four years or so. I like them.

It's just I've had some loose connections in the past which allowed the metal casings to touch so I had to put an insulator between them. That's not common but it did happen once to me.

derrickdj1 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I have been using the the past 3 years.
