Dear all,
I am currently playing around with a set of new speaker cables (van den Hul D-352), and I have noticed that the banana plugs holding the cable get loose after a couple of hours, i.e. you can retighten them.
Just to be clear, I am talking about the banana plugs themselves holding the cable, NOT anything between the banana plugs and the speakers or amplifier.
This is the banana plug in question:

Have the people who made the cables done something wrong? Is it something I should worry about? For context, my current speaker cables are/were QED, with their Airloc system which seems pretty bomb proof.
The reason for getting the vdH was pure curiosity, since the internal cable of my speakers is already vdH, and so is the cabling of my turntable. Both the vdH and the QED are less than 1% of the total cost of my system (not *that* much of a believer in expensive cables as you can see), so I am prepared to move the worse sounding cable on, even if it turns out to be the newly acquired vdH.
Regarding sound quality, the jury is still out, but the above mentioned issue does not make the vdH look good at the moment.
