Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?


My Pass 350.5 Amp only can accept spades.

There is a set of used speaker cables that I would like to purchase but they have banana's on all ends.
I know there are many adaptors that can adapt the other way, but I dont recall every seeing the adaptor the way I have descibed.
Without resorting to re-termination , is there any type of adaptor that can adapt the speaker cable banana ends to fit in my Amps spade ?
I am serious, Please no bananna jokes! Well maybe a few , but only if I get my answer.

DAYTON SPCO-GRB COMPRESSION SPADE - these work nicely. The can be used to terminate bare wire, and also banana plugs fit very snuggly into the end.

Thanks, I have thought the item should look something like that spade compression.

On the set you refer to , wouldn't the banana plugs get squeezed and compressed thus reducing resale value??

It seems that all the spade needs is a proper banana jack on the end to accept a banana plug.
Ozzy -- if I assume the rest of your system is the same caliber as your amplifier (can I do that?) then I suggest you to "do it right" and have your speaker cables re-terminated. Even if you solder spades onto the bananas, you are creating a Rube Goldberg conglomeration of sound-degrading electrical interfaces -- and for what?

In fact, have spades installed on both ends if your speakers accept them too, because bananas (unless the locking kind, and not just a "push" connection) are an inferior connection IMO.
The way the Daytons are set up, the inner channel of the compression sleeve is the same size, and it's machined like the banana jack on a 5-way binding post. That is, it's designed to receive a banana plug. It will do no more damage than the banana jack does. Nsgarh's advice may be batter, but these are cheam, well made, and a nice thing to have handy I've used them numerous times in banana plugs for a quick adapter.
Bdgregory,
I am going to look into the Daytons, sounds like an option if not just a inner step.
But, Nsgarh's advise is heard and understood.
I have a APL Denon going direct via Cyberlights P2A to the Pass Labs Amp (no preamp).
I am using Legacy Focus Speakers. The Speaker cable I am looking at is Nordost Valhalla.
