Interesting; however, given that Silver Spiral 2 cable costs £30/m, I'm
keen to ensure I'm not wasting my investment on cable be using cheapo
banana plugs. It's obvious from the physics that a QED Airloc crimp is a
better connection than just screwing the ends into a 24k plated bananas
plug (risking having wires not even getting surface to surface contact
with plug).

Hope it looks pretty!

The question is: will it look prettier than sixty pictures of the Queen per
biwire cable? The consensus seems to be: no - so I'll go off, buy myself
some 24k plated 'screw-in' banana plugs, and spend the surplus cash on
(dinner for) something pretty :-)

Thanks for all the advice.

Try Musical images they have the plugs and cripping tool and i dont believe
thay charge that much of its use.

I'm looking to have two pairs of biwire QED cables (which I already own)
fitted with QED Airloc Banana plugs using QED's Airloc Crimp tool. Any
suggestions on who'll give me the best deal? I'm not too fussed as to
whether it's the MK-1 or MK-2 plugs (although I'd hope the price might be
a
bit lower if I go for MK-1s).

Also: one of the Biwire sets is actually four runs two strand (i.e. not
biwire) Silver Spiral 2 cable; given the gauge of the cables, will it even
be possible to crimp two strands into one banana plug at the amp end?

Thanks for the help!

Best,
Alex
