Connecting Speaker Cables to Dynaco ST-70

My spade speaker cable connectors are large and without a lot of effort (which I do) the positive (non-ground) connector will touch both the 4 and 8 ohm taps on the Dynaco.  Will it hurt anything sound or equipment wise if the speaker connector touches both amp taps?
Thanks in advance.

I always installed Vampire or WBT five-ways on Dynaco tube amps. Simple to remove the existing terminal strips and use the same openings, without butchering/modifying the chassis at all. Insulate the unused x-former leads. MUCH better connection than original and easily reversed, if desired.

Jetter:

The adaptors have a screw down binding post that also accepts bananas.

Notice the threads and nut in the ad pics.

H DeKay,

Now I see what you are referring to.  I will be purchasing them.

Thanks,

George

Jetter, I did not mean to through you off by mentioning that I used these adaptors for bananas. I knew they could be used for bananas, spades, or bare wires. Sorry. I also used these for older speakers with small screw terminals.

Mesch, not to worry, I had looked at the pictures showing them and came to my erroneous conclusion all on my own.  Very happy to see they exist and I will be ordering them when I get home.
