Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?

OZZY - You made this sooooooo easy once you said Nordost bananas. Nordost makes an EXCELLENT banana to spade adapter that fits perfectly and tightly into their bananas and uses gold plated spades. The cost for a set of 4 is somewhere around $54.00, so it's even economical! Your local Nordost dealer should be able to help.

I have purchased Virtual Dyanmics Rev 2 biwire with spades so I no longer have a problem as originally posted.

This is an old posting but still revelant because of the original question.

That is...

Why is there not an adapter for converting a banana plug to a spade , since the other way is readily available?

The spades sold by Parts Express do work in this way, but they are not designed for this purpose.

Nsgarch, the adapaters that I was seeking are the other way.
What I was looking to do was to adapt speaker cables that had banana ends to be used with a Power Amp that will only accept spades.

Jwpstayman, I will contact Nordost, hope they are the adapters I have described above.

Bananas are garbage. Have the wires reterminated.
