Terminations


Just curious to find out what the consensus is on speaker cable termination. I have some Audioquest Type 4+ that I'm going to be using. My thought was to use gold bananas on the amp end and leave the bare wire on the speaker end. However, I'm concerned with oxidation there. I have also considered spades on that end or just soldercoating the wire. At any rate, what sonic effects/differences have you noticed with these different terminations - bare wire, solder coated, spades and bananas?

I prefer bare wire. I haven't noticed oxidation and it is one more way to shorten the signal path.
