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!

Before removing the spades you should be aware that each strand of wire has an enamel coating that will prevent contact with the terminal block. Simply stripping back the wire jacket won't work. The coating has to be removed, not an easy task.
