Correct way to attach speaker wires... Wait, what!!!


Okay this is going to sound ridiculous but I've always wondered if I'm connecting the wires in the proper way to the binding posts. I just picked up a Red Dragon S500 power amp and I figured I finally should ask the question. It has the screw down type of posts. Here is a link to the pic on their website. The wires I have are Mapleshade Clearview Golden Helix which terminate in a stiff single 3/4" wire. Any help for a dumb question would be greatly appreciated!

All this jazz about terminations and wire... 
You do know that the makers of the active and passive devices in your amp don't get this weird about the leads on their stuff. Pretty much all the connections that aren't solder are gold on gold because it never corrodes, at least if it's quality stuff. I'm going to guess that if a gold on gold connection is good enough to address memory in the GHz range, it should handle audio just fine.
