Very expensive binding posts vs Direct soldering

[Magura]

If we are down to binding posts now, the cardas binding posts were offered at so low price that they beat pretty much anything else. I bought the long rhodium over silver binding posts through the group buy cause I realized that I would have a hard time making them cheaper myself.

What was the price? And in what quantity?

Since you live in Germany, why don't get in contact with Ruhstrat?

Massive copper, weight > 400 g! They have smaller also....

I always wondered how heavy-duty (60 Amperes) lab pinding posts like the one below (Euro 4.20/piece) compare with all those exotic ones.

For permanent connectors I used the copper foil (from inductors). I cut 1" strip in half, but for better current capabilities, one can fold it for double thicknes. That post accepts spades, bare wire, or if you want, you can make your own "spades" from the same foil and solder it to speaker cable wires

Looks good.Two things I would consider:

1.Copper is going to oxide with time.
2.I think it would be good to glue the steel nut in that bakelite bar instead of making a thread in it.A couple of loosenings and tightenings and screw will destroy the thread.

Ask Roddyama for a pricelist from the group buy, we were not allowed to publish the quote we got.
