It is also said that the sound of the cable is ultimately determined by the terminals. It is an important part because it is the part that is actually directly connected. The sound quality of the cable with the addition of terminals should be 50% of the influence of the cable and 50% of the terminals, but in reality, the influence of the terminals is said to be 20-30%. In any case, the sound should add up in the end. Broadly speaking, it will be gold-plated terminals and rhodium-plated ones. The difference between this plating is that gold plating is attractive in the smooth intermediate band, but the delicate resolution in the mid and high frequencies tends to be sweet. Rhodium plating tends to be consistently tightened with high signal-to-noise ratios and high resolutions throughout the entire range, and the texture seems to be somewhat cool. There are also compatibility and preferences with cables, but it is a common general evaluation that rhodium plating is more advantageous in terms of accuracy purity. Strictly speaking, it is a two- or four-layer plating using copper or silver, so I think it is better not to assume that it is this way because it is gold or this way because it is rhodium. In addition, there are luxurious terminals made of the same material as very good conductors made of a proprietary precious metal alloy using 5N to 6N gold, silver, and platinum, such as Muto's Augline.

It is the speaker cable that drives the speaker that ultimately emits sound. The purpose of upgrading speaker cables is to sublimate the sound quality of the system to a new level by making the cable with high-precision transmission capability. Connecting the cable to the speaker is not particularly difficult as long as it is firmly attached so as not to mistake the plus and minus. However, as mentioned above, the final sound quality of the speaker cable should be determined by the attached terminals, so if you are using bare wires, it is possible to upgrade by installing the terminals. Attaching terminals has the advantage that the cable can be connected more reliably, and the sound quality is maintained with constant sound without damage to the core wire.

When connecting a cable to the speaker terminal, there is no problem in burning the bare wire in the case of a cable with a thin conductor diameter, but when it comes to a cable with two thick conductor structures, it is often advantageous in terms of connection certainty and sound quality to treat the terminal with a Y lug or banana plug. As for how to choose a Y lug or banana brug, there are many parts that have better resolution and high frequency characteristics than the Y lug, but it is surprisingly difficult to tighten it tightly with your fingers, and it is easy to come off to fix a thick and heavy cable to a small speaker. For this reason, banana plugs have the advantage of being easier and more reliable. In any case, high-resolution, wideband, and high-precision terminals are ideal. The length of the cable affects the sound quality. To avoid sound deviation or change in sound quality, make sure that the length is equal to the left and right speakers. In addition, the minimum necessary length is advantageous for sound quality, but it is better to leave a little margin in consideration of later terminal replacement, system changes, and movement.
