Socrates, I agree with you as I have tried it when I first got this amp. Made me nervous to have such minimal contact. Clearly looked less than adequate to me. It is a weak connection that you can't really torque down very well. I found that the nut would keep getting loose. Rick from VD suggested the spades as being best, but I too wonder if the difference would be audible? Can anyone verify that spades are sonically better than bananas? I prefer spades and they would be better suited for when I upgrade my amp, but gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks.
R1b61, Be very cautious of that connection! Check it from time to time for loosening. I eventually had to get bananas for the AP wires I had at the time and then got the banana adapters for the Cardas.
