electrical short 1 channel. Cable spade at fault?


Excuse my electrical ignorance,but my YBA 201 is now out 1 channel after new cables.The spade connector to the amp was huge in diameter, 3/8ths inch vs 1/4 in.for the post,and even with it fully tightened there was still some motion possible in the cable-post interface.Also ,the spades were so long that there could have been some contact between the two.
Also,any ideas on what it should cost to fix this?
Thank you

Make sure it's the amp and not the cable. Either switch cables left and right or try another set of cables (even lamp cord) just to be sure.

If it's still the amp, check for any fuses that might have blown if you did short it out.

Always try the free stuff first before you have a repairman try to fix it.

No guess as to what it might cost if it's a worst case scenario. Good luck.
