The WBT spades are locked on with 2 set screws. I am not sure how well the set screws will hold on bare wire. One thing that you can try, I've never done this, is to buy some brass compression ferrules from the harware store and crimp them down with a pair a pliers. The compression ferrules could be found in the plumbing department. Like I said, I have never tried this and am not sure how ell it would work.
WBT Spades -- Crimping needed??
I just purchased some Canare 4S11 cable and am looking to terminate them properly. I'd like to connect the speaker end of the cable with spades (biwire), and so far I've read that WBT make the best spades.
However, it was not clear to me whether I can insert wires directly into the WBT spades or whether I need to insert a sleeve onto the wires before adding on the spades.
I have no crimping tools and am not looking forward to have to purchase any, so any help is appreciated.
