Spades or bananas


Hi All,
Is there a real difference in sound between spades and bananas (lets say they are both WBT). I understand that spade will give better contact but is the difference audible?

Thanks

So if bananas tend to fall out how could this be called a good mechanical connection?The cable and the connector should all be one continuium and if possible the internal wiring of the speaker and the amp should be the same so as to have the same signature!
If the connection is vibrating it has to be generating spurious noise and resonance. Look at some of the new ideas from Sonoran Audio.They now use a micro bearing insulator around the final dilectric of their new series of power cords, innerconnects, and speaker cables.I recently upgraded from their previous best to the new Plateau Series.The only difference is the micro-bearing insulator.WOW, much quieter more dynamic and improved separation .The first cable I swapped out was the co-axial digital.This new Plateau Series Cable lowered the noise floor and brought the soundstage to life. Only thing I can figure is that with the addition of the micro-bearing shield, noise is reduced to new lower levels, allowing more of music to be reproduced.
