Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?

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.

Bdgregory,
