However, when they came through, I realised they were a different design to the Linn bananas I already had. I've tried to take a photo to show the difference:

The ones I already had are on the left (on the end of some K400) and are not gold plated. They are also slightly springy metal, and appear capable of handling thicker cable. The new ones are gold plated, use a springy metal strip to make a tight connection, and look as though they'll only just take K400. I certainly can't see how the new ones could take two runs of K400, if biwiring from an amp with only single connectors...
Are some of these fake, has the design changed over time, or are there "Knekt" bananas and other ones (perhaps intended for connecting up a Classik with K10)? Thanks.
