speaker binding posts

[Milkduds]

Does anyone know what speaker posts the diyaudio store sells in their accessories kit and if they can be had separately? I need a couple sets of the insulated posts for my first watt builds and the ones and I have are not that well made. I'm also not interested in the high dollar boutique posts, nice as they are.

Not sure, but they look kinda like these:

Dayton Audio BPFI-G Fully Insulated Binding Post Pair Gold

There are a lot to choose from on feabay of similar quality but a tenth of the price.

Even the Dayton connectors look Chinese.

In the store, if you look at the packaging, you can see a logo that looks like Dayton. Its really difficult to see because of the resolution. Try emailing the store

I have used these for several years; you can also get short arm CMC sockets too, if you look around. Good quality and a fair price. CMC 858-LU-AG Silver Plated Long Arm Speaker Binding Pots 2 pairs | eBay
Reliable seller too.

I like these. Reasonably priced and very good fit and finish.

Thanks to everyone! I especially like those Zu Audio posts for the money if no insulation is ok.

What do you mean by "no insulation"? The red and black portions you see in the picture are 2-piece plastic insulators, which allow for mounting the binding posts on a metal plate.

 

[Dennis Hui]

I'm guessing Jim's looking for those where the posts themselves are also insulated
and you don't really see exposed metal.

BTW, how much are those Zu audio posts? When I visit their site, I see "Price is for the pair" but no actual value.

Thanks,
Dennis

$12 for the pair.

Not bad. Thanks for the info.

Dayton Audio BPFI-G Fully Insulated Binding Post Pair Gold

I needed two pair, so I bought these

Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Gold-Plated Five-Way Binding Posts Two Pair

$35 for two pair as opposed to $23/pair - but the insulation doesn't extend over the end of the post like the ones you linked.

Where to get those Zu-audio posts?
The only link in the product description is 'Find dealer', when I click on that I get into a 'roundabout' that just returns me to the same place - Dealer Region-Products-Binding Post -Find dealer, etc etc...

The first batch of the back panel kits had the Daytons as mentioned above. The next batch had posts from Apex Jr, on this page - untitled

I like these ...... looking as Papaposts, on FW gadgets

Anything made by Pomona Electronics - is no nonsense good quality stuff

Couple of other ideas
1) Neutrik Speakon Connector
2) If you dont swap cables get rid of the binding post altogether and use cable glands
