Speaker Cable Banana Plug Breakage


Hi Folks,
I could seriously use some help with a banana plug issue. The thin gold plated pieces that splay apart on the end of my banana plug have broken off and now, I'm having some conductivity issues. I used a test CD and there is obviously a reason for concern. These are older Hi Diamond speaker cables and while they sound wonderful, the build quality might leave a little to be desired. Right now, the banana plug end is a minuscule gold pointed spear and I'wondering if there isn't something that I could do without causing a sound contrast between the two speakers? I'm pretty certain that Cullen Cables can help me with his issue but I need to buy myself some time before having them properly repaired. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

@imhififan - no worries, that certainly wasn’t a comment on you! I only commented on the monoprice bananas once talk started turning to a permanent fix.
imhififan, thanks but maybe in the not too distant future. Those plugs look fantastic but are beyond my current budget. Are the angled plugs generally more costly than the straight plugs?
