Spades are better...better connection. Nordost/ cardas bananas fine and dandy. Don' think you can go wrong here.
Recommendations for banana plugs
I will be re-terminating a pair of speaker cables that have spades on them right now (two of which have broken)with banana plugs on both ends. I am unsure which brand would provide the most secure connection/best sound. Was considering the Eichmans or the Nordost type but have little to no experience with either. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
