Does anybody know of a good spade to banana plug adapter that will work with an RM 10 MK II? Thanks!

Look on the electronics section of E-bay. There are several people selling good quality adapters.

I guess the Audioquest is about the only possibility as far as what I see on the 'Bay. Didn't know if there were others. Thanks

I don't own an RM-10. What exactly is the problem with normal bananas and this amp?

The terminals are designed for spades only:

Ah, I see. Do you have a machinist friend with a self-centering three jaw chuck who could MAKE them accept bananas?

I solved the problem. I got cables with spades.

May not be audiophile quality, but these are solid, reasonably priced adapters that you could temporize with: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040115&p_id=2943&seq=1&format=2

only problem is his amp, as now configured, won't accept bananas. if they would, he wouldn't need these.

I've gone with bare wires on mine. No problems with termination that way.

audiomaniac · « **Reply #12 on:** 17 Jan 2010, 06:13 pm »

I was thinking of trying some DNM cables. I think they only come with bananas. I guess I could cut them off and strip the wires, but I would rather use them as they are made. It's great that Roger is back. I'm really enjoying my RM-10!

From the replies following my post there seems to be some confusion on what I am offering. Adapter is a misleading term here. What is needed is an alternate cap on the existing post that accepts a male banana PLUG. We have made these mostly for our dealer but customers are welcome to them also. My lab and system is all bananas and 3/4" spaced doubles. The RM-10 banana cap simply replaces the standard cap. No muss, no fuss.

I would have made these standard but there was no interest at the time.
