Connectors that convert spades to bananas?

Does anyone know who makes this, I have seen them attached to a boulder amp before.

Situation:
Speakers connector only offer spades input and I have bananas. I need a spade connector that will accepts Banana plugs on the other end. Not sure where I have seen them but definately on a Boulder Amplifier add some where some time ago.

Halcro, You are absolutely right. These bananas offer the best connection and they do the least to harm the sound. Audioquest has been offering this type of banana for almost 20 years. The less metal the better as far as I'm concerned.
But I think he wants to go the other direction from a banana to a spade

Well my connectors will only accept spades and I have bananas. I need a spade connector that connectors to my speakers and will accept bananas plugs.

Hope this is clear, sorry about that.

Stacking connectors can have a negative affect on the sound.
Why not terminate your speaker cable with spades?
Or better yet, remove the bananas and use bare wire. We already had a dicussion about this recently.

Well its a $5000 pair of speaker cables that is factory terminated so... kind a in a situation so might have to move it probably instead of getting smart knowing my abilities with soldering irons.

So, you want to put add-ons on a $5,000 pair of speaker cables.
I recommend you send them back to the manufacturer for spades regardless of price to maintain the integrity of your speaker cables.
