I'm not sure the 9mm spades will do. Those are jagunda binding posts. My solution is to put the spade in top down through the post hole and then tighten down. It works just fine.
Spade ID size for Musical Fidelity A3CR amp?
Hello everyone and thanks for helping out. I'm going to audition a set of Audition cables from Rick of Virtual Dynamics. I can't resist any longer. For my Merlin VSM-M speakers I'll need to run a shot-gun bi-wire from my MF A3CR amp. Anyone familiar with this amp knows of the huge binding posts on this amp and the difficulty of connecting cables to it. Rick advises me that spades are the best way to go over bananas and especially over the Cardas banana adapters that I currently use to connect my Cardas Golden Cross internal bi-wire speaker cables. To optimize the performance I'd like to use spade connectors on the Audition cables but fear the 9mm size that Rick suggests are still not big enough to fit around that huge post. Can anyone tell me if the 9mm will fit around the post or do I have to use bananas? Is there any spade made that fits over these lugs? The MF web-site does not even have a way to send them an email that I can find so any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks, Dave
