Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake
Hi, yes ther are tons of different banana plugs and spades with screws on eBay.  Take a look.   
HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
Hi, you can get a great CJ, AR or AL for under $1500.  All sound great.  Older we’ll build tube preamps are a great bargain and will last.  Don’t b afraid to purchase.   
Recommendation on power amp
Hello, your equipment sounds great.  the Pass Labs X series amps are fantastic.  May be the missing link.   
Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects?
In my opinion the first cable upgrade should be the preamp to amp. Evert signal has to pass through those two components.   
Which would you choose; Pass 250.8, arc 75SE or luxman m900u?
Pass Labs, they are as good if not better than any amps in the price range.  You get a total package.  You will not regret your purchase. 
What area or country do you live in ?
Sacramento CA.  I live 40 minutes drive from Pass Labs(I have Pass Amp and Preamp). I have watched them build the equipment and of course meet Nelson. I am also 20 minutes from MIT( all my cables are MIT). Love my city. 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Yes, I have done just that.  But I had Magnapan speakers at the time.  It was wonderful.  The music exploded!. I currently have full range speakers now, no need for a sub.  That said if you beside to get a sub, check out "REL".

Is there actually a difference?
in my ecperience(I'm 52 and have enjoyed this hobby since I was in junior high school). From my first "Sharp brand"  receiver through many different gear changes to my current  "Pass Labs" gear. Yes!!! and worth every penny.
