Changing termination: will it affect the sound?

I just bought a pair of Nordost Red Dawns and found that the spades are too small for my binding posts. Will there be any loss in sound quality if I use a pair of spade to banana adapters? I see that Cardas offers these, Monster cables and others....

Many thanks for any/all replies

I don't know if they still do, but Nordost in the past offered retermination directly to owners.

Why don't you file out the inside of the spades a little, until you have a snug fit? Save you some time and money and one less connection.

Alas bought them here, new, so Nordost will charge $25 per. Seems nuts to spend $200....

Bare wire? Fewer links in chain. Zero cost.
