ETI Research Silver Bayonet Banana Plug
|
|
The ETI Silver Bayonet Plug™ innovations and refinements include
- Incorporating high conductivity .9999 pure, solid silver exclusively in the construction
- Optimising mass and thickness of the conductive element to enhance electron flow
- Proprietary locking mechanism utilising a nonconductive frictional pressure insert and coupling spring to secure connection rather than the conductive pin itself
- Attention to the mechanical aspects of the design to ensure the ultimate connection with all banana plug compatible binding posts

Bayonet Plug™ (tellurium copper) |
Bayonet Plug™ (4-nines pure silver) |
| Gold plated brass or phosphor bronze with a conductivity rating of often less than 28% IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard). |
A contact element machined from highpurity tellurium copper (over 90% IACS) for excellent conductivity. Provides up to 320% greater conductivity than gold plated brass binding posts. |
A contact element machined from 4-nines pure silver (106% IACS) to provide ultimate conductivity. |
| Typified by large cross sectional or hollow thin wall designs where thickness and mass not optimised for signal integrity. Sound quality and electron flow compromised. |
Conductive pin of ideal thickness and mass — to support current flow and to minimise skin effect problems. The result is a clean, open sound with improved detail. |

| Heavy plating of gold over a nickel substrate. This is often a cause of poor sound quality as electrons flow through 3 dissimilar metals with differing electrical and conductive properties. |
Direct 24k gold plating (no nickel substrate) to prevent oxidation — and not to influence sound quality. |
Unplated. Treated with Caig PreservIT antioxide solution. |
| Split-pin, barrel leaf, cylindrical, or expanding mechanisms — all using compression and/or friction to secure connector. Conducting surfaces also serve as locking mechanisms. Compromised sonic performance. |
Proprietary locking mechanism utilises nonconductive frictional pressure insert and coupling spring to secure connection rather than the conductive pin itself. Secure connection without sonic degradation. |
