Hi, ProFX sells QED's Airloc terminations that are pretty sturdy:

But 510 rupees for one bloody spade

That will work out to be 4040.00 only for the spades.....

Even Kimber Spades will be at that price range .....right? . I have seen some spades ( dont know the company name , may be some chinese stuff ) . The price was Rs.250 each.

I used banana plugs from Designer Audio in Mumbai but they were fairly expensive too. Maybe half this cost but still I am not happy with their fit. They stay a bit loose instead of fitting snugly and making full-on contact. Am on the lookout for good cheap spades myself, along with cable. I checked blue jeans and anti-cable but both work out rather expensive, esp with shipping.

Hi,
The kimber basic spades and the banana s are 250/- per piece.(last time i checked) and are of good quality. Have always used the kimber banana and they still make a solid contact after years of use. I know there is a B&W dealer in bglore and am sure he must have them. Another decent spade to buy is the basic Transparent @ 300/- per piece and Lakozy in bombay stocks them.
I suggest u buy from abroad if u can as u gets tons of connectors at very reasonable rates.

There are tons of good cables available now. Demo some supra s. Good sounding/well made/reasonable cables. I guess Boomerang will offer u chord/straight wire but IMO a supra is as good and much cheaper.Transparent is super but expensive even in the US and the kimbers that are good are overpriced here.

Thanks guys for the messages.

Paying around 200 bucks for a good quality spade connector is okay.
