Spades or bananas


Hi All,
Is there a real difference in sound between spades and bananas (lets say they are both WBT). I understand that spade will give better contact but is the difference audible?

Thanks

Bananas are more convenient especially if you need to schuffle between speakers or speaker wires. Bananas can perform almost like spades if you clean them often. If you don't need to unplug your speaker wire every time I suggest no termination and putting some silver non-lead solder onto the bare wires instead.

Wheather this is audiable or not it depends on how critical your listening is. You might miss small details(sometimes only if you know that they shlould take place on that particular recording) such as quiet sighings, steps far away from a recording microphone...
