Unusual(?) spade connection
The old MIT2 biwire cable I have has spades that are too narrow for the posts on my Hegel and Ampzilla monoblocks. How about Spade to Banana Adapter https://www.transparentcable.com/products/transparent-spade-to-banana-adapter https://www.thecableco.com/cab-banana-single.html http://www.cardas.com/cabd.php |

@imhififan - The adapter looks like a great solution! Appreciate the tip! I will have to call these companies asking if they can somehow tell me the diameter of the adapter where the spade goes. Hopefully the adapter is slimmer than the posts on my amps. My listening room is very small. The amps are on a rack against the front wall. I have banana plugs on my cables that would cause a severe bend in the cable without pulling the rack several inches forward. If the adapters fit the spades, I can push the rack back against the wall without bending the cables. That's a noticeable saving in space in this small room! |
I like tvad’s recommendation, I was just too lazy to look them up. I use WBT parts, very high quality. If you have enough extra length, you can leave the original spade on, cut further back, complete new WBT connector, and have a short piece with original factory spade connection on one end for ... ? and imhififan's adapter sure looks easy! |
