Yes, absolutely. They fit just fine.

Thanks Paul. I asked because years ago I had some NAD amps and the hole in the binding post was not there to accept banana plugs.
@Paul, @jamesh this Stellar M1200 looks real impressive and owning a Stellar Gain Cell DAC I trust they will sound real good.
One remark I have when I looked at the specs:
You advertise intercontinental local power supply voltages to cover global market access on the PS Audio WEB-site. But why does PS Audio not bother to publish the dimensions in SI units ie. mm? It would make it so much easier for customers in countries that do not utilize imperial units but metric units. As far as I am aware the kids in the US are educated in metric units on school also.

No. They are not.

Many do, and the most basic science classes require a running knowledge of metric.

Just use this formula on a calculator ((inches x 25.4)/1000)= X meter and or ((Meter x 1000)/25.4)= X inches if you need the conversion. It’s really easy to do. I do it all the time with the Wood working i do. It’s easier sometimes to do the meter system for math in your mind.
Supposedly. Feel free to ask some metric related questions to the average person and enjoy the looks of dismay, contempt, disgust, etc.

Of course. It’s all multiples of 10. Unlike the assinine British system (sorry Brits but it’s true).
This is a different issue as to whether metric is taught. Many exhibit the same reaction to chemistry, physics, history, literature, etc. - all of which are covered in public schools.

Metric units were taught in the New Braunfels School district in Texas when I took my 3 kids to school there (Elementary School, Middle School and High School) in 2013 and as I was surprised to hear that they were educated in metric units, the schools told me that it was mandatory, perhaps only in Texas.
IEEE and UL ANSI national US standards for electrical equipment even utilize metric units with imperial units in parentheses.
Anyway I don’t want to argue about what units are better as it makes no sense to try and change a complete nation to use different units than they are used to.
But specifying metric units would make it so much easier to read the specs over here in Europe where the equipment is sold too, as over here everybody uses metric units.
Just a gesture for international customer orientation.
I am in favor of including metric and imperial, both for ease of all customers and it helps everyone learn the system to which they are not accustomed.

I totally agree - if you sell a product internationally you should list in both units.
That is what I meant to propose.
I am often bit by the different standards for published music: A4 (20,99 cm x 29,70 cm) and US Letter (8,5 inch x 11 inch).
Do not print one when your printer is loaded with paper corresponding to the other.

Note that in the UK we’d write numbers as 20.99 and 29.70 not 20,99 and 29,70 - confusing or what?

Exactly what I thought !!!
Dirk, when Scotland leave the UK they’ll be free to write it any way they like ):-

We do in the States as well.
We’d pronounce it twenty point nine nine not twenty comma nine nine - I wonder whether the French say vingt virgule neuf neuf.

US paper sizes are idiotic. There’s no reason to not use international standards for paper size, especially when the international ones are better designed. Absolute stupidity.
