Spades/Bananas/bare wire?


What is the best kind of wire termination? A friend of mine who sold me a entry-level cable (Synergistic) which, BTW, sounds great for the price I paid, suggests simply bare wire into the terminals. Is this preferred over spades or bananas or other types of terminations?

Just one other aspect to think about, spades and bananas are usually gold plated and your terminals probably the the same. You always want two metals that are the same to be in contact with each other. Copper cables are better with gold palted spades or bananas over time for this reason.
