Could I get a brief description of solderless terminating?
I've read on this forum that "banana plugs" are superior
to soldered connections-so solder is superfluous, or even
interferes with current?!?!
& are Radio Shack "banana plugs" acceptable? Will
clerks know what these are ?

Hello,

There is no substitute for soldering. Good soldering makes supreme electrical contact.

There's also wire wrap, right?
It's a bit exotic and not suited for larger projects, but still...

Well, I would think a good air-tight crimp would be better than solder, and I doubt radioshack makes good bannana plugs.

Air-tight versus not-air-tight? :B

Wouldn't a non-air-tight connection just..slip out?
