Radio Shack sells both thin and thick gold plated spades ($5 for 8) and 3% silver solder ($4/1.5oz.; part no.64-013). I assume thick is better for carrying current. Live it up. Amaze your friends! Good luck.
Speaker cable termination
I have a pair of old Audioquest Midnight 2 speaker cables and I need to change the termination from banana plugs to spade lugs. Could anyone recommend where to purchase the spades ? Would the quality of spades make an audible difference ? Can I solder it myself easily ? Is it worthwhile to send it back to Audioquest for re-termination ? Thanks.
