Bananas Vs Spades???

Just curious. Someone on another thread mentioned that (WBT) banana terminations degrade the sound. Anyone ever compared spade terminations to bananas using the same speaker cables? Notice any differences? Sorry if this has been hashed over before.

I have never compared the two, but I pefer Spades just for the fact of more contact surface. I'm not sure that there is more surface but looks like their should be. Also with spade end, you can get a tighter conection. As far as sound, not sure I have heard a diff, or if I have throught if was another factor.

How about no speaker wire terminations at all? It doesn't get any better than not having it in the signal path to begin with. Of course this goes against audiophile thinking as common sense isn't useful in this hobby. LOL

Good listening

Yes this has been gone over many times. I agree completely with Gmood1. Why put a possible source of degradation in the signal path? Doesn't signal purity make sense?
