I just tried the cables on my Technics SU-R1000 last night and man what a night and day difference versus the Vampire binding posts on my Adcom.
The Adcom had the short Vampire brass binding posts that I was finally able to use a wrench to tighten down…
But the Technics has big grippy plastic knobs that twist up, revealing a slot on the side of the binding post apparatus. The ends of the spades fit perfectly into that slot and then you just twist the post back down with the grippy knob when you’re done.
I am curious though, what is the point of spade connectors on high end cables? The only real purpose I could see for them would be the vintage screw type speaker connectors where it’s literally a screw.
