In theory I suppose everything de grades. That said how great was your previous connection? How often did you open it and remake it with a clear wiping motion that cleans oxidation? Getting out of this minutia I can tell you that I can get absolutely superb sound with lots of connectors so long as they are tight and clean my two senses people worry about the wrong stuff
Do Banana Plug Adaptors Degrade SQ?
...and, if so, is the degradation of sound quality generally audible?
I’m running a PrimaLuna integrated into JBL L65s whose stock connectors only accept bare wire. Would like to fit the ‘65s with some sort of reasonably good adaptor which wouldn’t entail opening any cabinets/soldering/etc. and would allow me to use a better grade speaker cable (Been looking at Audioquest Rocket 33/44.) that’s terminated w/banana plugs. Any brand/model/supplier for such an adaptor would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
