the audio world needs a good reasonably priced male rca. the prices for some of these connectors are shocking and discourage people from the diy route. is help on the way?
I think the Cardas ones are pretty good and reasonably priced for the quality. I'm trying to focus on parts that fill some sort of niche or need.
Some of the parts fill a particular need for us. The speaker binding post is the result of needing something of good quality yet affordable and easy to terminate to include with the Exodus speaker kits. The Cardas post are great but they cost more, don't accept bare wire and require soldering skills to terminate.
The bananas are the result of trying to fill a niche in the market as good quality banana connectors that are reasonably priced are difficult to find. The spades are the result of making sure we had something that fit the binding post perfectly. They also fill a price niche under the price of the Cardas parts.
