I am told by Ron Hedrich of Marigo Labs, legendary (in some circles) designer and engineer of cables and resonance/vibration control thingies, that it works, but make sure it's the same exact constructed cable. Also as stated by others, spade banana at each end. Which sounds like what you are wanting to do. Marigo also said it would make for better sonics to use biwire cable. With wire running cable length, not just attached at the speaker end. Hope this helps.
Possibly dumb question: can I use two cable runs for each channel, not bi-wired?
I'm moving my components into another room, in order to shorten the existing 30 foot cable runs to about 10 feet,
and will run the cable through the wall between adjoining rooms. I'm wondering if I can make use of the resulting "left-over" lengths of cable by doubling up each run, utilizing one pair of binding posts for each side. Has anyone tried this? Question #2: should the pairs be jointly terminated,or should I use bananas coupled with spades, so that there are 4 terminations at each post? I haven't sen any references to this in the past, so it may well be in violation of some basic rule of physics, but I thought I'd ask, anyway.
