Spade vs. banana plug


Is one better than the other if both versions are very well made terminations?

The biggest difficulties I’ve noticed are with the material of the connector, more than the type. Nickel or Rhodium plated is bad. Just too hard to make a good connection.

I’ve had really good luck with gold over copper bananas, and WBT locking bananas. Had really terrible luck with Furutech rhodium locking. Literally too small for several speakers, and too had to make a tight fight, as well as deformed easily.

Another type I’d like to try are the WBT spring loaded spades.
