Hello, This is my first post (I reside in south Louisiana). I picked up this Cambridge Audio A3i and am wondering if the terminal bindings can be swapped out to ones that accept banana plugs. These are solid brass with no "cap" to pry off. They look to be banana plug "friendly" but aren't. I can't find a lot of info on these b/c of the style they are.
Anyone had any experience with swapping these out on a cambridge model ? I really like this little amp and want to clean it up.
thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!
I've read elsewhere that the A3i loudspeaker terminals don't accept banana plugs.
I've no direct experience with this amp, but I've attached an internal view which may be of assistance to members.
There are twin terminals like yours that can accept banana plugs. It's a matter of checking out the relevant measurements, inside and out.
This is a short version from Amazon (long ones are also available):

Alternatively drill the middle of the binding post which is what I have done in the past to good effect. Use a 3mm drill bit and then a hole file to make it a nice snug fit.
