I have to set up one too. I just find it annoying that things cant be simple with turn tables. Got to do so much work. Miss the old days when you can just plug and go. I had a cheap one that was like that but it started wobbling badly so wound up getting a more expensive one and i went to set up and boom nadda. needed to go back to get the amplifer and speakers and stero wire. Need to wait for the speakers to come in but im hoping i dont start a fire or blow anything up. lol

Many thanks for uploading! I implore your viewers not to make my mistake. It's VITAL to ensure not even ONE strand is near the opposite pole when using binding posts, leading to a short circuit! It's remarkably easily done: at 06:24 you'll see what I mean, at the middle of the picture. It's a good idea to tuck the protruding wire around the post in the same direction as you turn the nut so it winds itself in and is less prone to splaying out. (This also usefully increases the contact area, giving better sound). I missed a single strand once. It contacted and made a short circuit to the opposite pole. The amp gradually overheated but I didn't know until I smelt it on the other side of the room, by which time its rubber feet were sliding off in their own goo. You may be luckier and have a fuse blow. Better just to check! :-D

@falconward6757 4 жыл бұрын

The reason for two screws on the pin connector, or on some banana plugs, is something you defeated by stripping the cable too far down. The top screw is to hold the wire while the bottom screw is to hold the cable covering/casing. So you only should strip the wire far enough to allow the bottom screw to engage that casing. It makes for a much more secure and long lasting connection, especially when you pull the plug out multiple times to move the speaker or receiver.

Very well explained video tutorial. Would you say that attaching banana plugs to bare copper wire cables for attachment to speakers is better than just a bare wire connected to the speaker..? In short, would there be an improvement in sound quality? Finally, the shorter the speaker cable, means a superior ( better...) quality of sound, am I correct? Many thanks!

The little "hehe" after you said "just a quick little snip of the tip" made me laugh. Thank you so much for dumbing this down for people like me, this helped me sooo much! Down to the amazon recommendations/option. My brother bought me a turn-table for my birthday last year, and then a few bookshelf speakers for another occasion. It seems like he was as clueless as me, because he didn't buy anything else. Finally, I got tired of staring at them in a corner, so I bought the amp but was still lost on how to connect the cables. I watched a couple of other vids of "how to" but they didn't actually break it down this much and I was getting so frustrated. Liked and subscribed! :)

Great Video! Thanks. I do have a question though. Can you please, in a future video, explain how to set up a 7.2.4 using something like a Yamaha RX-A3070BL and a Emotiva XPA-3 Gen3? Those are the components I chose, and this whole home theater set up is my first venture into higher end AV. I know I will need the external amp to do the 11 channels, so I decided to go with the XPA-3 Gen3. I'm just a little confused on how to connect the external amp and front 3 speakers, to the A3070. Full disclosure, I am in Afghanistan so my set up is being pieced together(some new, some used) and I hope to have it all ready for install when I get home. That won't be until June, so I have time to learn/educate myself before hand. Thanks again! My proposed set up: Klipsch RF-7 II Floor Speaker x 2 Klipsch RC-64 II Center x 1 Klipsch RS-62 II Surround Speakers x 2 Klipsch CDT-5800-C x 4 Ceiling Speakers Klipsch RB-81 II x 2 Bookshelf Speakers PSA V3601 x 2 Emotiva Audio XPA-3 Gen3 Yamaha RX-A3070BL

Thank you for another great video. I’ve a question: I think you’ve connected the ‘Pins’ not right; you use both screws for the kabel without the rubber, but you have to screw the frontscrew to make contact with the blank wire (you can fold the blank wire to make a better grip) and screw the backscrew with the rubber!. With this connection it holds longer without the chance to break it. Second question: did you know that you can also put the bananaplug into most receiver-connectors by onscrewing them first and put the plug into the hole for the blank wire? On this way the plugs won’t unplug when you’re moving the receiver.(I’m Dutch, so sorry for my english....)

Hey, thanks for the help! Is there a way to hook up speakers (spring clamp wire style) to a DVD player instead of a receiver? The DVD player doesn’t have the positive and negative wire outlets, but is there an adapter or a work around?

This was so helpful, especially for a noob like me. Super excited to hook up my Martin Logan speakers!!!

Thank you for this all in one clip. It is very helpful. The AVR I got has the type of posts as seen here (fast forward to 5:35 in your video). It’s so hard to get my fingers in there and I don’t fancy that type of connection. Is there any tips or alternate ways you could suggest. Can we use those flexible tip plugs instead.

I use banana plugs mostly. So if you can fit those, it'll be a lot easier.

@@TechnoDad I don’t think it is possible (there is a cap on that end) to insert a banana plug from the top end. Do you mean to use a banana plug side ways?

Those could be removable

Great information. I will have 7 speakers about 23 feet high in the ceiling. I do not want to have any problems with the speaker connections. Which speaker connection do you recommend for the money and which connection do you recommend for a fail safe/30 year permanent solution? I will need to rent a lift so I want to get this right!
