Spades are the "STANDARD" connectors on most all speaker cables.

don_c55"Spades have a much larger contact area, with lower contact resistance, and can handle higher current easier. A superior connection!" Not necessarily - it would depend on the spade and the post to which it is affixed. |
Success on pin and insert removal. Pins were easily pushed out with my smallest nail punch. The banana connectors on my Furutech Reference III speaker cables fit perfectly. And the sound is now MUCH more to my liking than with my spade-terminated Analysis Plus Oval Nines. Thanks all for your good info and comments! |
Thanks tooblue! If I can't visually determine which pin end is bigger, I suppose pushing each way to find the exit path is ok. Did you find the pin hard to push out? don_c55. Thanks, but I don't want to take a $$$ hit on resale of my present banana cables if I don't have too. I originally auditioned them as spades and there is no difference to my ears with the banana connectors. |
