OK, now you cable guys can all laugh at me...

Since I'm getting my first new speakers ever, I'm going to build those speaker cables I keep linking to. I'm going to put bananas on the receiver end (because my H/K's binding posts suck ass, and I don't want to be trying to wrap 11 guage equivalent around the little screw posts that it has). I'm looking at both the Dayton and the BlueJeans (scroll down). My main rationale for going with the BlueJeans is that they include heatshrink tubing and are put together in the way I like (stick cable through, fan ends, screw on). I don't know how the Daytons work. Has anybody used them? Are they a pain, are they easy, do they grip the cable nice 'n tight?

The other part of the equation is that I'm probably not going to get the BlueJeans interconnects, since they cost twice as much and the Daytons are prettier (methinks). Anybody have anything good/bad to say about the tightness of the connectors?

Have at it, boys...
