Spade adapters


Just picked up a pair of mono Acoustic Zen Holligram II's and sold my speakers at the same time,the cables are terminated with spades. Decided to go with magnepans and now looking at adapters for the spades to bananas. Was thinking of WBT, any loss of sound quality using adapters or should I just resell and start looking for a pair terminated with bananas. Thanks, John

Hi John,

I'd suggest you strongly consider cutting the spades off and converting your wires to banana. It's very easy to crimp a WBT collar on the bare cable, then use either WBT0644 Midline bananas, or treat yourself and get the most excellent WBT0600's. The WBT connectors aren't cheap but you will be able to keep your cables and you'll also have arguably one of the best connectors available on your wires. You can always remove the WBT's and re-use them again on other wire in the future. Besides, selling cables isn't the most rewarding experience, you'll be lucky to get 50% of the original price (unless you bought'em used for half off).

Regards, Jeff (big WBT fan)
