Eichmann's new XC and XS spade connectors have arrived! The Eichmann XC Copper spade utilizes Oxygen-Free High Conductivity Copper (OFHC) with vacuum deposited Gold microplating for enhanced conductivity, excellent sound quality, and durability. The Eichmann XS Silver spade uses unplated pure Silver over the Oxygen-Free High Conductivity Copper (OFHC) for superior conductivity and sound quality. The new Eichmann XC and XS series spades are optimized for mass, contact area, and thickness for reduced reactance, solid bass, and smooth detailed music reproduction. My be soldered or crimped. Sold as a set of 4, and supplied
with heatshrink for ends. 1/4" size is only size currently available, but barrier strip spades and 5/16" size are coming soon...
The new WBT-0661 (1/4") and WBT-0681 (5/16") Nextgen Spades have arrived! These new NextGen Topline spades are made from pure copper, and have reduced metal mass even further.
The key to the superb quality of the WBT-0661 and WBT-0681 spades is a patented Sandwich design of its contact fork: Elastomer oscillation dampers eliminate airborne noise and mechanical vibrations as well as magnetostrictions, ensuring almost total suppression of contact microphonics, and providing improved fracture resistance of the connection. The WBT-0661 and WBT-0681 sandwiches the contact forks with an elastomer insert in a steel cap resulting in uniform contact pressure, while minimizing transition resistance. Three punched contact points
on the bottom of the fork ensure precise contact, further improving the quality of signal transmission. The surface of the copper conductor is protected against oxidation by direct nickel-free 24 carat gold plating.
Easy fit for wire sizes up to 10mm2 (7AWG). Available in two sizes to fit almost any binding post: WBT-0661 = 1/4", WBT-0681 = 5/16". Color code: red or white. Sold and priced by EACH piece. Yeah, they're expensive, but they are VERY GOOD. For best results use the WBT crimper and crimp sleeves (see below).
Crimper purchase is refundable when purchased with set of 4 or more connectors.
* Late fee will be assessed at $3 per day 3 weeks after ORDER DATE.
The Furutech FP-201G and FP-201R spade connectors are Furutech’s answer to those who want a top-notch audiophile-quality spade connector. Manufactured from PCOCC (Pure Copper by Ohno Continuous Casting), and uses a 4-step plating process of copper-silver-copper-gold or copper-silver-copper-rhodium. If there's a better spade connector out there for this price, I haven't heard it... Pricing is for a set of 4 connectors. Spade size is 5/16" and they accept up to 8 AWG wire. No soldering necessary- there are two set screws that clamp onto the wire, making these re-usable for DIY'er who wants to experiment with various cabling.
The WBT-0645 angled banana plug has a new thread pitch for faster, more secure fastening. Innovative banana plug approved worldwide as a loudspeaker cable connector due to the safety pin design (International Patent Pending). Fully insulated, high clamping power via expanding inner spike. Easy one hand operation. Extremely compact, sloping angle is easy on cable and equipment. The WBT-0645 is stackable for bi-wiring. Two Torx screws (T-6) for extra-tight pressure connection and additional cable strain relief. Connector body and signal contact metallurgy is 55% oxygen free
copper alloy. Plating scheme uses 3 layers: Cu 1.5 microns; Ni 8.0 microns; Au 0.2 microns Color code: red or white. Easy fit for wire size up to 10mm2 (8awg).
The WBT-0600 Topline banana connector is WBT's best banana, with robust design and a sleeve with polished
ruthenium finish. Offering high contact pressure due to an expanding inner spike ensures a solid mechanical fit. Termination fitted with two Torx screws size T6 for secure crimp connection as well as cable strain relief. Connector body is 68% oxygen free copper alloy. Plating is nickel free 5 layers: Cu 11 microns 2X; Pd 4 microns; Au 0.3 microns 2X. Color code: red or white. Easy fit for wire size up to 10mm2 (8awg).
For best results use the WBT crimper and crimp sleeves (see below).
Crimper purchase is refundable when purchased with set of 4 or more connectors.

The NEW Eichmann Bayonet Plug is a totally new approach to speaker cable connection. The result is a connector that offers better sound quality for speaker cables in all price ranges. The conductive pin is machined from high-purity Tellurium Copper which provides up to 320% greater conductivity than gold plated brass plugs. A pure silver Eichmann Bayonet Plug™ is now also available!
The Eichmann Bayonet Plug is not only among the best sounding banana plugs available, but it also outperforms many spade connectors. The Bayonet contact pin will accept a 7 AWG wire. The crimp ring is 4mm internal diameter. For larger cables, you can open the crimp ring, which offers connection to just about any size wire. The rear opening of the housing is 7.5mm internal diameter.
Eichmann Cable Pod Binding posts are one of the most significant advances in binding post technology that I can remember. Eichmann Technologies has eliminated most of the mass of conventional binding posts, threw away the steel nuts and hardware in the signal path, and has created arguably the most sonically transparent binding post ever made, IMHO. Will fit panel thickness range of 1mm to 11 mm. Each box contains 2 cable pods (4 posts). Each pod may be easily split for non-standard binding post widths.
WBT-0710 NextGen Signature Series is brand-spanking new, and I'll predict will be the new "king of the hill" of binding posts. WBT Nextgen stands for a new generation of connectors in which the strict separation of signal transmission and mechanical stability has permitted the use of the most ideal materials. Pure copper and/or fine silver are the best known electrical conductors for signal transmission. However, due to their mechanical limitations their use has only now been made possible through their ingenious
combination with high performance plastics. The core of the new WBT-0710 binding post is not only made from pure copper or fine silver but it is also designed from one piece so that all unnecessary transition resistance is omitted. The signal conductor is embedded in a matrix of glass fibre and mineral strengthened plastic and strain relief is achieved by means
of a non-magnetic stainless steel strut. The clever angular alignment of the signal conductor allows the secure fitting of spades, banana plugs and crimped cable ends. A damping ring made from elastomer prevents vibration at the contact level.
On this basis, the construction is electrically insulated from the start. Design elements out of brass give the
WBT-0710 binding post the expected appearance and feel of WBT products, without impairing the electrical safety. In this way, the WBT-0710 nextgen conforms to all current norms and safety regulations. With a 30 amp continuous and a 500 amp power impulse current capability all concerns are satisfied. The WBT-0710 Nextgen provides the theoretically maximum possible conductivity with the mechanical quality to be expected from WBT. Supply is limited, so scoop them up while you can... Sold as each piece.
WBT-0730.11 Topline Signature Series binding post kit includes 2 double-pole terminals (4 posts) that will handle 200A continuous current. The patented clamping mechanism ensures a high compression connection of spade connectors and crimped wire with ends up to 10awg. Accepts 4mm banana. Color code: red & white. Kit also includes 2 spacer blocks and 1 torx key. termination is solderless!
