The AQ are crimp ons, I believe. Make sure you have the right tool. :)

Spade termination for Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii
I want to terminate two sets of cables with spade connectors for a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Signature ii screw plate hook-up. Vandersteen says the max width for a spade is 7/16ths or .4375 inch. I would like to use Cardas CGMS spades, but their width is .4875 (http://www.cardas.com/cgms.php).
One cable I want to reterminate is a AudioQuest Rocket 33. It was banana plug and I stripped it to bare wire. The other set is four runs of Duelund 12AWG.
I am seeking advice on a specific spade to use for the Vandersteen screw plate. Has anyone used the CGMS (I know the specs indicate it would not fit). Any other mfg. recommendations for a spade to use?
I am connecting to a Rogue Cronus Magnum II and a Tandberg 3012A. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks for all of the recommendations. I have used Cardas spades before with a pair of early 2CEs and liked them. Can I not use them on the new 2CE Sig iis because they don't make one narrow enough to fit that screw plate? The WBTs are very nice, but expensive. I'll look into the AQ and Vampire BARs as well. Would it be OK just to crimp, or do I need to solder or cold weld to secure connection? I am interested in hearing from anyone who has used various spades specifically on the 2CE sig iis.Thanks everyone. |
Why do you need to contact Vampire? The BAR spades are available for sale online from multiple places. https://www.douglasconnection.com/Vampire-Wire-BAR-Spade-Connector-4-Pair-VWBAR.htm http://www.soniccraft.com/product_info.php/vampire-bar-spade-p-1516 https://www.thecableco.com/bar-spade-set-of-8.html |
