Bananas Vs Spades???

Jayboard..the comment is more towards what I've read others say. Not trying to argue at all. I've seen several post where the poster claimed the bananas or spades would be sonically better than bare wire. I've never been able to understand this because common sense should kick in some where...unfortunetly in some cases..it never does.
I just find it funny.

No harm no foul..I've tried the Nordost Cables with the Z banana approach. Nothing wrong with it.. just not worth the money IMHO.

Cheers

Then I understand than the bare wire is the better for music reproduction. Isn't?

Bare wire is also better for corrosion.

Yes, this is the main drawback of using bare copper, it oxidises fairly rapidly. We can therefore assume that the signal will degrade over time also. A gold plated end sleeve will prevent this, but how to get a good connection with these? I do feel that manufacturers can do far better in this area?

Ps

Spades hands down. Better surface area contact, can be torqued down extremely tight and less vibrations. They sound more powerful on same cable used.
