#77586 - 08/13/06 08:47 AM Bannana Plugs and the 7500
knownalien Gunslinger Registered: 10/23/05 Posts: 96	I just went to Best Buy and bought some moster bannana plugs. These particualr ones are already "coupled" but they have a little flex. In the back of my Denon I managed to get them plugged in fine as they were. But judging from picks of the 7500, I think the distance between the posts in the back too far apart and my mosters will be useless? Is this a possibility? The monster plaugs are like $20 a pair. It'd be a shame to not be able to use them. _________________________ Outlaw 990 PreAmp Outlaw 7500 5 Channel Amp Two Outlaw 2200 M-Block Amps - for the Surrounds Oppo OPPO DV-981 Polk LSi15 Fronts Polk LSiC Center Polk LSi9 Surrounds SVS PC-Plus 20-39 (newest addition down to 16hz) Subwoofer Sony KDF-50WE655 50" LCD

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	What's the spacing between the bananas? I made a very rough estimate of the spacing between the posts on the 7500, but will need to pull the cabinet forward a bit to get an accurate measurement. The distance between post centers looks to be ~3/4" (possibly 7/8"). If that's close to your bananas, I'll try to get a better measurement when Kate takes her nap this afternoon. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

nfaguys Desperado Registered: 04/09/05 Posts: 500 Loc: Maine	Having used "standard-issue" banana plugs for years I recently purchased LOCKING BANANA PLUGS from a seller on ebay. Very pleased with them...and when working on wiring in tight spots behind the amp and speakers they don't pull out like previously. Reasinably priced.

gonk Desperado Registered: 03/21/01 Posts: 14054 Loc: Memphis, TN USA	If your bananas are exactly 3/4" apart, I'm pretty sure that's the standard spacing and that Outlaw stuck with that spacing for the 7500 and 7700 (and all their other amps). I'll try to get a more accurate measurement later today to confirm it. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93

billyTHEkid Gunslinger Registered: 06/17/06 Posts: 81 Loc: PAP Haiti	i have used monster banana plugs with the 7500, but i really prefer the locking ones. you don't have to worry about a loose connection. If your plugs don't fit, you can always cut the plastic and seperate them into two seperate plugs. _________________________ Billy
