Hello, i'm trying to find the best (and cheaper) 4 mmm banana plugs and jacks for Lunetta pannel mount.
I'm in france and I only can find in local and french web retailers panel mount bananas for 1,4€/pc !

I's already bought my 20 firsts in poland for around 0,14€/pc, but I don't go to Poland everyday, and I don't speak Polish.

I checked for a China Supplier on the AliBaba Website, for 0.035$-0.06$ /pc (100 pc. mini, in 1000 pc. package) without taxes and delivery.
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/430963414/newest_4mm_banana_plug.html

Does anyone ever bought his banana plugs in China ?

I'm not sure if they were from china, but the last time i bought cheap banana jacks ($0.40 each from a place here in the US) they were not very good - the thread stripped easily, and the plastic melted easily during soldering (and therefore the shape was altered). so be careful about looking for the cheapest, etc....

OK, I know the debate of quality versus price, but I can't buy the bunch of banana plugs I need for my modular at this price.
I love your work ! Worth hearing your soundcloud ! It sounds handmade with a lot of little instruments, claps and toys, but very well mixed with lunetta !

Hi efabric !!
I'm also living in france, so... I buy my stuff on Banzaï... Not the cheaper, but not so expensive, and i've bought 250 banana plug for 75euros...
quality is ok...

You can check Mouser, but it's not always the best.
