Hello,
1st time posting. I have a pair of Statement cables with broken banana screw in connectors. How did they break? I won’t mention names (kids) but I am looking for 4 replacements. The screw in spade connectors would work as well.
I contacted PS and they no longer have these parts. I have looked high and low on the internet with zero results.
Hoping someone might have spare connectors or know of a good source to purchase these.
Thanks much!
You might want to find out the thread size for the screw in connectors from PSA and then check with Wireworld and see if theirs will fit. Also Wywires and several other companies use a similar type.
Thank you. I know thread size is 5mm and will see if these companies have something compatible.
Thanks. I’ve seen those and so many other products like those. If I can’t find the connectors that thread right on, I will go with something like the Monoprice, Nakamichi etc.
I looked for 45 minutes for a banana with a 5mm thread. No luck. It should be available should it not? Doh!
Wish I had only looked for 45 minutes, but it was several hours plus calling companies like Mouser, Digi-Key and others.
5mm thread bananas or spades seems simple enough to find…Not!
Most screw on speaker connections are problematic designs and will probably not stay tight over time. Even with a liberal dose of the blue or red Loctite! They do a little better with the larger AWG conductors (10/12 AWG) than the smaller gauge. A properly done solder or crimp is a better option.
I have some ps audio screw on spades, dm me.
Food for thought. Thanks.
Excellent! I would sure like to get those screw on spades from you. I don’t know if this is a direct message. I just recently joined and don’t know all the ins and outs of this forum.
