    G'Day All

    I am just about to buy Blue Jeans speaker cables with welded connectors for my VTA-ST120 - what size spade terminators should I order that would correctly fit the VTA-ST120 speaker terminals?

    6.5 mm or 9.mm?

    Thanks

    Hi Alex,

    Those speaker binding posts on your amp are 4 mm in diameter. If you use a 6.5 mm spade lug, it will fit better onto those speaker binding posts. I am assuming here that the 6.5 mm refers to the space between the two flat sides on the spade lug.

    Thanks for the clarification Bob.- I will then order the 6.5 mm spades to terminate the amplifier end of the cable.
