Dennie Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think if I can't get those to work, I will go with a spade connector instead of a banana. Why don't you go with bare wire? Hi wuzzer, The reason is because I have 12 AWG cables and I noticed that a lot of the strands come out of the connector on both sides, the speaker’s and the receiver’s. So I thought maybe grouping them together and using a banana or a spade would be a better aesthetic solution. ...and safer!!! If one of those "strands" shorts out, you'll be sorry!!! Good thinking. [<)] I too use spade ends now on my La Scalas, works great! [Y] Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arie01 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi Dennie, Where did you get those spades? What brand are they? Any idea how much they are? I would need at least 18 and I'm in Canada... Don't know if all makers are available or ship here. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're in two different countries, it dosen't make sense to recommend a supplier. These can usually be found at your local hardware store.

Rich_Guy Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Orange County Speaker (GLS) also has spades. http://www.speakerrepair.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hi Fini, I have a stupid question about these Nakamichi plugs. I bought them too and for some reason I can't connect them to the back of my speakers. I have the Reference 5 series. How did you get them into the socket at the back of your speakers? Thank you, Sorry for the late response. I don't remember how I did it. I'm very old, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 assuming the cables are not solid core I wold recommend the monster cable units, about $14 for the two pairs. worked well for me, regards, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
