Because of the peculiarities of the posts on my power amps, I need at least one set (ie. 4 plugs) - but preferrably 2 or 3 sets - of AudioQuest PK-UST Silver Banana Plugs.  I've tried searching the internet for retail suppliers &, obviously, checked with AudioQuest but it turns out they've been (quitely) discontinued.  AudioQuest now only sells BFA bananas - which are fine but won't work with my gear.  I'm hoping someone has a few sets lying around loose - or even on the end of old cables - they'd be willing to sell?

Have you spoken directly with Sound Advice?  They don't show out of stock and they are able to be added to the shopping cart.

Thanks Steve.  I placed an order with Sound Advice based on their listing - but the order shipped directly from AQ & was filled with BFA bananas.  Subsequent conversations with both SA & then AQ revealed that the UST's have been discontinued & BFA's are the only option from AQ now.

Do they have to be silver, or will gold work?  And if gold were acceptable, I guess you also have also checked with RAM Electronics?  (I guess my Google is no better than yours!)
 
Sorry, I just figured small things like banana plugs would be directly stocked by the vendor.  BTW, out of curiosity, what is the amp with "peculiar" speaker posts where BFAs won't work?

Anyway, good luck in your search.

Same problem with RAM unfortunately, Steve.  BFAs will "work" with my amp binding posts but they are loose & only fit about 1/2 way in - i.e. clearly aren't making a good physical connection.  Seem's, though, that I may have missed my moment on the PK-UST's.
