Your thoughts please


I have a 10 year old Acurus a250 amp...great amp...with plastic screw-down caps on the speaker connection posts. An audio salesman told me not to get spades because the connection would not be good.....is this true? The banana "hole" in the plastic cap doesn't accept the full length of my bananas so I had to get a step down plug....is this not a desireable way to connect cables to the amp? Should I just go with bare wire? Am I making too much of this? Thanks.

I had some Anti-cables with spades. I got to looking at the spades and they didn't look so good, so I took them off and connected the bare wire ends. I thought the sound improved noticeably with the bare ends.

Also, FWIW, Morrow recommends their speaker wires with "nude" connections, if possible.
