I am going to buy speaker wire adapters between old screw-type vintage connectors and modern connectors. I know they can be purchased by e-bay, but I don't use it.

A seller from China sent me a picture showing this type of adapter, but I don't know whether it accepts bananas and/or spades or only bare wire. The pic is not very clear but perhaps someone will help me with this.

 OK, I opened the link and I wonder what is the difference?

The Dill pointed to the best option for this type of adapter.

The original Swedish-made Supra Fork (small barrier strip 5.5 mm fork width version, not the larger version which is too large for your needs) is gold plated copper rather than gold plated brass such as the cheaper Chinese knock-off products. It will accept bare wire or banana plugs.

 Those look to be much higher-quality than the cheap junk-metal adapters available from numerous sellers on eBay.
