Using big spades on a barrier block.


I just bought a pair of Cardas Golden Cross speaker cables for my Kilpschorns and want to know if there is an adapter that I can buy to connect the cables to the barrier block on the speaker end?

The Cardas spade is pretty big and i'm hoping there's a way to connect the cables without cutting off the spades and just using the bare wire to connect to the barrier block.

The barrier block has a #6 screw from what I can gather.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks!

When I had VAndys I found that the plastic "ears" that projected upward were slightly flexible and with gentle pressure on the spade, I could compress it slightly and then there was enough "give" on the plastic to get spades in. Unfortunately, if you have the larger Cardas spades, I doubt you will be able to do that.
