Terminals spade type loosening the binding posts


The binding posts on my Monitor Audio PL-300 have had frequent problems loosening and disconnecting the Audio Quest spade type terminals. Has anyone ever had this kind of problem?
Thanks for help.

The thread locker may end up being too strong and cause the posts to loosen on the inside when you try and undo the threads.  There are spring washers made for situations such as this.  There and NOT lock washers but they apply a listed pressure on the nut to prevent them from backing off.
