Spades vs. Banana plugs ??

Apparently you bare wire guys don’t have a cat or an elderly maid, both of whom will periodically unplug things by means completely unknown or illogical.

Whatever gives me a secure connection is my choice.

Mine are plugs, make a bit of a 7, and have a crank on the back that expands the plugs to make them secure.  Silver if I recall. So far so good.

Interesting conversation. Just bought a Boulder 2160 which only uses spades. Had to have my cables reterminated. 

Michael Borreson says bananas are the best. More surface area than spades.

Banana plugs, easy and neat.
