Sourcing banana plugs in the UK

[dan m]

Hello all

Hoping UK based residents can help me source a few items.

I am now the proud borrower of Martin J's frugal horn speakers. (Many thanks to Steve for dropping them off). The binding posts look to be banana only. Does any know a place in Leeds city centre where I can get some plugs quickly. Failing that, is Amazon the best option? Nothing fancy and not requiring soldering ideally.

Also, my smsl amp power brick has a detachable US two prong power cord. If there's a source of replacement cords with a UK plug it would be nice to get one so as to not have to use an adaptor.

Thanks!

Dan

Here maybe https://www.richersounds.com/stores/leeds

What's the mains lead you are after - UK 3 pin mains to IEC (kettle) /Cloverleaf (3 circular)/Figure 8? If you weren't in a rush I can send you one next week for postage cost.

Thanks, Gus. The plug on the power brick end is a small female two pin that is symmetric (can be plugged in either way around). Other end would be standard 3 pin mains.

Yes, that's it. Got a direct link to Amazon or is that the type you have spare?

PM your address

If you're stuck I can send 4 x red 4 x black plastic body bog standard bananas, you should get sorted at Richer today but if you're not desparate, let me know

Er?
Or cut the US plug off and fit a UK 13 amp plug perhaps.

What if he needs it when he goes back to the USA

Yes, it’s a nice portable amp, so good for travel. I can get by with an adapter, but might as well have the right cord. Thanks, Gus - I’ll PM details, and wander up to Richer Sounds later this morning.

DOH silly me...

Yes google 'figure 8 power lead' - Amazon have them, so do Currys (but expensive!)

Back under the stone for me then.
