Eichmann ETI Research Bayonet Banana Plugs:

Why the Bayonet Plug is better than the connector you presently use?

The Bayonet Plug is a totally new approach to speaker cable connection where every aspect of electron flow has been considered.

The result is a connector that offers better sound quality for speaker cables in all price ranges from low-end to high-end.

What you should know about banana plugs:

Most banana plugs use the conductive element as the locking system. By doing so, conductive performance of the connector is often neglected in favour of the mechanical means of connection.

Consider the following banana plug designs:

A split-pin design where the conductor pin is sliced into 2 or 4 elements thereby creating a frictional springing action to lock within the binding post.

A barrel spring where separate leaf contact portions are arranged in a cylindrical fashion around the conductive pin, compressing on entry and frictionally holding the pin within the binding post.

A single compression type spring (often a stainless steel wire) that forces a hollow pin against the inside of the binding post.

A hollow thin-wall tube pin, split down one long side, that makes frictional contact via the inherent springing nature of the metal material used i.e. Beryllium Copper.

All the above designs provide a secure connection, but sound quality can be compromised in a number of key areas.

Most of the above banana plugs are made from gold plated Brass or Beryllium Copper with a conductivity rating of 28% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). As a comparison, the high purity copper used in most speaker cables has a conductivity rating of at least 100% IACS.

The large cross-section of many Brass banana plugs can also cause phase errors and smearing due to skin effect - where high frequency signals travelling on the surface of the conductor are conveyed faster than low frequency signals travelling at varying depths and speeds within the metal itself. The result is often a slow, bass heavy sound.

In contrast, the hollow thin-wall tube connector (Beryllium Copper) of the Eichmann Bayonet Banana Plug is compromised through a lack of mass, where the wall thickness doesn't support the large current flow from amplifier to speaker. The result is often a lightweight, bright sound.

And finally, the split pin plug and the barrel spring plug can induce eddy current distortion where the signal is conveyed through multiple contact points.

The solution:

The new Bayonet Plug connector solves the problems of existing banana plugs and provides a faster, cleaner signal of high purity and detail.

To achieve this Eichmann uses a conductive pin of ideal thickness and mass - with minimal skin effect problems, and whose locking means is via a non-conductive frictional pressure insert (patent pending) rather than via the conductive pin itself.

The conductive pin is machined from high-purity Tellurium Copper (over 90% IACS) to ensure maximum conductivity. This provides up to 320% greater conductivity than gold plated brass plugs. A pure silver Bayonet Plug is also available.

The Bayonet Plug is not only the best sounding banana plug available, but it also outperforms many spade connectors, and in some cases bare wire connection.

Note: Most spade connectors are produced from low-conductive brass, and are often poorly shaped for the best transfer of electrons. Bare wire connection (to binding posts) doesn't always provide the ideal surface area contact, and the bare wire is also prone to oxidation.

The Eichmann Bayonet Plug is designed with one thing in mind to provide the best sounding and best mechanical connection for ALL speaker cables.

The Bayonet Plug - the closest approach to no plug at all!

Performance approaching the very best and most expensive audio cables on the market, for a fraction of the price. Well below what audiophiles normally expect to pay for superbly engineered and hand crafted components. Best Value of any cables available.

First of all, there is no other cable on the market at this price point that even comes close to these. No hype, No snake oil No voodoo. Pure, simple, outstanding cables with performance approaching the very best and most expensive audio cables on the market, for a fraction of the price. Well below what audiophiles normally expect to pay for superbly engineered and hand crafted components. Best Value of any cables available.

The majority of the high definition speaker cables (typically over $1,000 per pair) are made from silver conductors with Teflon insulation.
These expensive materials generally are thought to sound the best.
Prices for these premium speaker cables are high for these reasons:
The materials ( silver and Teflon) and the labor-intensive processes, both are costly.
Then, the manufacturer expends enormous resources on advertising, to maintain their brand."
These advertising expenses must be added to the final product cost.
Also, speaker cables are not sold directly to end users. Instead, manufacturers sell to stereo dealers who resell the product to end users, after adding their markup.
Dealers typically charge twice their cost. They must earn this amount, as profit, in order to survive, because they, too, have necessary high costs- rent, advertising, salaries and sales commissions, business taxes, etc.
Let’s analyze the distribution of funds paid by the end user for a pair of 8-foot silver and Teflon speaker cables from a name brand manufacturer:

Cost of Materials $ ..200.
Assembly Labor Costs $ ..175.
Administrative and Sales Costs $ ..125.
Advertising Costs $..225.
Manufacturer's Profit $..275.
Dealer Mark-Up $1,000.

TOTAL COST TO END USER $2,000

All my cables are made by hand by me one at a time, I'm a small operation working at my home, with a small markup (40%) including labor.Unlike large cable manufactures which have a large overhead and typically charge 16 - 20 times cost.
My mission is to the finest audio components, of the finest materials, at a reasonable price.

Conductors:
The wire is MIL spec aerospace stranded silver plated copper wire, silver being the best conductor of electricity. Teflon insulation is very close to air resulting in very low capacitance which makes the cable suitable for any audio component as it will not contribute to instability, or absorb the signal. Teflon insulation is very thin resulting in a cable that is lightweight and flexible. This cable will not stress the jacks on your components, but is very large gauge. This configuration provides incredible imaging and detail across the entire audio spectrum, deep, tight, powerful bass, sweet transparent midrange smooth and linear high frequency response. This cable provides incredibly low resistance and is extremely flexible considering the AWG.

Insulation Material:
Teflon (PTFE) as a dielectric is very close to air.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE This heavy-wall wire, rated at 1,000 volts rms or 3,000 volts DC, saves both size and weight compared with many other insulated wires of the same rating. Suitable for Broad frequency use at elevated temperatures in high-reliability programs where electrical and thermal stability are important.
