I use R-C networks to load the ends of my cables (see my posts below for details on parts). I found that Alpha-Core silver spades make them work much better at the binding post terminals of my power amps than the tinned leads of the resistor and capacitor. This may be because my speaker cables have spades, and capturing the wire leads under the binding post nuts led to a weak mechanical connection.However, before I went with the Alpha-Core spades, I tried cheap automotive spades with the same networks, and these made the sound worse. I used WBT silver-bearing solder with the cheap spades, but Wako lead-free solder with the Alpha-Core spades. Perhaps the solder composition was the cause.
