Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound.

What banana plugs (or other connectors) do you use to connect amp to speakers:

construction material
configuration
coating
contact enhancer
method for affixing wire to connector
etc.

Thanks for your contribution.

Im actually looking on Aliexpress now, as they are the only ones that are showing pure copper, NOT gold plated. im also looking at spade lugs, as i think they may offer more surface area,. not sure yet.

AND do you think that bananas are better than spades? when i went to high quality 10 gauge wire, i could hear the difference over what i had before. im just looking to do what i can to get as much improvement as i can, without the snake oil!! Wait, that acoustic revive is 500 bucks, and 55 dollars shipping? uhhh, no.

The IDEAL combination for banana, spade or what ever you are using is Copper, that could be silver plated. Im trying to find just copper connectors, with very little luck. I dont want them gold plated, just copper, and if any plating is used, silver only. Does anyone have any idea where to get this? I will not pay 100 dollars for a pair of copper banana plugs that use less than a dollars worth of copper, thats for sure. Anyone have a good solution? Thanks!
