Thanks All! I did remove the banana plug and pulled back the shielding to expose more of the cable. The shielding split some in one place but a little silicon epoxy could fix it. I used a micro cloth to turn the end of the cable wire. When I took the plug off, I had a fat stub. The cable wire is too fat to completely fit in the Quad 2905 post but I got it to work and tightened down the post. One would think with these HiDiamond cables that better plugs would be standard however these are earlier cables so maybe that has changed. But great customer service! The BFA plugs do look like a simple but effective solution. The Cardas look nice as well. Hard to decide.
