Any cable or connection on a piece of equipment is only as good as the plug or socket attached to it. It does not matter how technically good the cable is or how high the quality and specification of its conductors; if the plug connected to it is of poor quality, sound quality will be adversely affected. As a manufacturer of what is considered by many to be the finest range of audio cables available in the World today, it made perfect sense for us to develop and introduce a complementary range of connectors.
Cleaned and Polished
As one would expect for a connector coated in such a thick layer of high purity Silver, they will, over time, tarnish and darken in colour. This is not anything to be concerned about, and a simple wipe with a suitable cleaning solution (good quality electronic contact cleaners such as Servisol or Electrolube EML are perfectly adequate) will remove any oxidation and condition the contact areas. Even if the connectors are heavily oxidised, they will still perform extremely well!

The AN-STR 'MEISHU' binding post / terminal takes its name from the amplifier it was originally designed for. Unlike most binding posts, the cable entry points for both Banana plugs and bare wire are machined into a single, solid piece of non-magnetic metal, reducing the part count and 'breaks' between the 'speaker cable connection and the termination inside the equipment. The screw down clamp is an elegant, easy to grip design, providing excellent pressure clamping for both spade connectors and bare wire. Each terminal is supplied with colour coded nylon isolation washers. Solder termination is required. They are formed from non-magnetic material and plated to the same exceptionally high standard and thickness as our other connectors. They are used exclusively for our MEISHU integrated amplifiers and on many of our vast range of open deck power amplifiers. Available with two mounting thread lengths; the 10mm thread length is perfect for mounting to metal equipment chassis etc, the 25mm thread length is suitable for 'speaker cabinets or chassis with particularly thick walls.

AN-SPR
TERMINALS
The AN-SPR is our largest and most capable binding post / terminal. Its wide diameter and large physical clamping area make this the only choice when a serious connection is required. It is a two part design consisting of a threaded, knurled insert equipped with a 4mm standard Banana plug entry point. This screws into the main chassis mounting body, and acts as a clamp for either spade connectors or for bare wire, which can be inserted through the large side entry holes in the main body. Each terminal is supplied with colour coded nylon isolation washers. Solder termination is required. They are formed from non-magnetic material and plated to the same exceptionally high standard and thickness as our other connectors. They were used exclusively for our legendary ONGAKU and GAKU-ON amplifiers.
AN-SPKR
TERMINALS
The AN-SPKR is our most affordable binding post / terminal. Small physical diameter and simple chassis mounting make it very easy to install, and it is perfect as a replacement for lesser quality connections on equipment with minimal installation space. It is a two part design consisting of a threaded, knurled insert equipped with a 4mm standard Banana plug entry point. This screws into the main chassis mounting body, and acts as a clamp for either spade connectors or for bare wire, which can be inserted through the large side entry holes in the main body. Each terminal is supplied with colour coded nylon isolation washers. Solder termination is required. They are formed from non-magnetic material and plated to the same exceptionally high standard and thickness as our other connectors.
