Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?


My Pass 350.5 Amp only can accept spades.

There is a set of used speaker cables that I would like to purchase but they have banana's on all ends.
I know there are many adaptors that can adapt the other way, but I dont recall every seeing the adaptor the way I have descibed.
Without resorting to re-termination , is there any type of adaptor that can adapt the speaker cable banana ends to fit in my Amps spade ?
I am serious, Please no bananna jokes! Well maybe a few , but only if I get my answer.

Bdgregory,
I am going to look into the Daytons, sounds like an option if not just a inner step.
But, Nsgarh's advise is heard and understood.
I have a APL Denon going direct via Cyberlights P2A to the Pass Labs Amp (no preamp).
I am using Legacy Focus Speakers. The Speaker cable I am looking at is Nordost Valhalla.
Bdgregory,
Man you should be fiven an award from the Audiogon Moderator.
You are the Man!. I just got the spades from Parts Express and they do in fact double as a banana adapter!
Thanks for the help!
If I ever again send out Christmas Cards , I will put you on my list.

LOL! Thanks Ozzy, I think you're the first guy I've impressed this month :-)

Glad they work for you.
Bdgregory, Thanks. That is exactly what I was looking for.

I know adapters are not the best solution and there may be some degradation but it is a cheap experiment since I already have two identical pairs of very good speaker cables. Bless Parts Express for providing the option of economical U.S. Postal Service shipment for small items.

Now I can experiment to see if the addition of a second set of speaker cables offsets any negative from the adapters. As a plus, I get to lose the jumpers at the speaker end. Kind of a trade off. Adapters at the amp end replace jumpers at the speaker end.

I am still open to other options if anyone knows about other adapters.
