Lots of metal is not good for sonics. The worst posts i have used were solid copper big heavy cardas that were something like $100/set. Eventually they were removed and replaced with the cheap, cheesy looking ones i sell for $4/set with an improvement in sonics.
If you're not obsessed with over engineered macho audiophoolery the 60c Jaycar banana sockets I linked are just dandy.

Uh huh, you believe that right ?
 
Exactly..... whatever we say is meaningless until he experiences what a carefully controlled and level matched blind test will reveal! I believe that anyone that is serious about developing a product ought to do that.

Then you know for certain if what you are going to sell is snakeoil or value.
 
BTW, anyone wants a pair of pure copper binding post for testing? I have got a pair of posts without plating.

I personally not an expert in audio but I like to know the answer. I could ship them to you if you really test it and share the results with us all.
 
Still prefer screw terminals (chocolate blocks), get them big enough and you have a wire to wire contact, perfect simple and easily removed, what more could you want...
I am serious here, a large enough opening allows the wires to overlap so you don't have to fret whether the connector material, mass, grain boundary's, dielectric or any other gremlin you can think of is going to have an effect... They are simple effective and remove all the points of contention mentioned on this thread....
 
post pics first ?

They are made with T2 copper.
I may find you a cap, washers and nut if you need them.

I give it out for free.

In exchange, you need to pay for the shipping fee and tell us the performance of this posts.

Saying you can hear the difference between one set of binding posts and another is like saying, my car goes faster because it's red..
Oh ... but mine does:

and please don't tell me to do a double blind test ... I already tried.

I can tell you they are dangerous and don't work, they are highly overrated: my double blindfolded tester run away (he objected to my having kidnapped him) and run straight across the test racetrack.

My red car hit him and we haven't found him yet .... but when we do we'll easily calculate impact speed, what the test is about.

Scientific method anyone?

We still need a volunteer to test the black car speed.

As you see, it's far easier to read a few dozen Forum posts and pick one I like 😉
