what connectors do you use on your jumpers?


I'm using spades to spades on my main wire and non locking bananas on both ends of my jumpers. I think the low end suffers from using the bananas. The cable maker doesn't offer locking bananas.

I want to get spade to spade jumpers but I have always been hesitant of putting two spades on top of one another. Is this OK or is a banana to spade jumper preferred?

It should be fine using 2 spades at 1 connector. Personally I like bananas better because you get more of a surface area connection. Also with spades you check them to make sure they don't loosen up. I used the wbt locking banana and didn't feel there as much of surface area connection but I could be wrong. The weight of the cable might justify a locking banana. I have Nordost now witch is a light weight cable compared with Jps S3 that had the locking wbt's.
