Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion.

I just checked my speaker connections. All using bananas, all nice and tight.

The number of times I’ve had spades get loose instead though.....

Point is, and it really is kind of a tongue in cheek thing, bananas beat spades for long term reliability in almost all setups.  If you have to use a Cardas or Mundorf speaker terminal to ensure your spades stay tight it kind of proves my point.

Cold welding is the ultimate expression of “ naked “…..

remember, “ always wear sunscreen “…..

Of course, Enid Lumley went one better and soldered pretty much everything…. but even solder has various camps, cultists, etc…..

Apparently it wasn't the "End of discussion" after all.

After a career of frustration in rewrapping naked wires and tightening spades, along came bananas to the rescue. Sold me immediately and forever. If I am missing something other than needless hassles, the proof thereof is, shall we say, not yet evident.
