From what I've seen of his system, Albert Porter's bank account has already been terminated. That's a heck of a system!
It is true that every connection is a loss of signal, but where bare wire connections will deteriorate over time, spades or banana plugs should remain constant. Ideally we would all have our IC terminated inside the cabinet of the electronics, and our SCs would terminate at the crossovers of the speakers, but as 'the great one' said, that would be unpractical. Therefore we opt for the lesser of a great number of evils!
