Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?

Thanks, I have thought the item should look something like that spade compression.

On the set you refer to , wouldn't the banana plugs get squeezed and compressed thus reducing resale value??

It seems that all the spade needs is a proper banana jack on the end to accept a banana plug.

Bdgregory,
I am going to look into the Daytons, sounds like an option if not just a inner step.
But, Nsgarh's advise is heard and understood.
I have a APL Denon going direct via Cyberlights P2A to the Pass Labs Amp (no preamp).
I am using Legacy Focus Speakers. The Speaker cable I am looking at is Nordost Valhalla.

Bdgregory,
Man you should be fiven an award from the Audiogon Moderator.
You are the Man!. I just got the spades from Parts Express and they do in fact double as a banana adapter!
Thanks for the help!
If I ever again send out Christmas Cards , I will put you on my list.

I have purchased Virtual Dyanmics Rev 2 biwire with spades so I no longer have a problem as originally posted.

This is an old posting but still revelant because of the original question.

That is...

Why is there not an adapter for converting a banana plug to a spade , since the other way is readily available?

The spades sold by Parts Express do work in this way, but they are not designed for this purpose.

Nsgarch, the adapaters that I was seeking are the other way.
What I was looking to do was to adapt speaker cables that had banana ends to be used with a Power Amp that will only accept spades.

Jwpstayman, I will contact Nordost, hope they are the adapters I have described above.
