no, they color it red to make you believe its worth more .... so they can charge your more
its the well known audiophile money laundry machine
and that one runs very smooth, and is always 'on clock'
btw, about cable spade connectors(Faston)
the good old ones were real copper, and nicely tinned
the real thing, good stuff....and cheap
Really? I have two versions, one in brass, the others in tellurium copper. They do not look the same under the gold. The tellurium copper versions should say so on the plastic propeller part.
I don't know if the brass version is still made.
IMO, the quality of the connection will make much more of a difference than the material of the post.
You can keep them! I grew up with audio gear that used terminal strips and bare wire or cheap spades. Rubbish. Seemed like 9 out of 10 audio problems came from the cheap and junky connectors we used to use.
I don't need exotic materials, but you can keep the Dynaco style terminal strips and cheap RCA connectors. I could not be happier than to see them go.
Cardas *does* make a solid copper binding post. I have used them. They are copper, solid, not plated.
This is the Cardas site: Cardas Parts
Easy enough to find.

they are unbeatable. real gold plating assures they will last for years, maybe some hundred years in environment after human kind vanished. they provide the maximum performance but if you could find them for fair prices. if you search them you'll find some with discount. WBT 0705 is one of the best IMO
in the past i've used two type of connectors : one 30A and one 150A.
the answer is that 30A one sounds very slim and harsh, because in that point was a sensible reduction of superficial transmission.
you may have misunderstood
30A and 150A are just model numbers
the higher number the better
that's how it usually works
30A and 150A are just model numbers ....the higher number the better
ok,
please justify this affirmation.
that's, a slim conductor does conduct better or worse current than a bigger one ?

Irrelevant. You're not talking about a hair thin conductor; even the cheapest ones are way larger than you need for this application.
If it psychologically feels better to you to spend a lot of money on exotic metals and huge conductors, go for it. You can even pretend it sounds different.
