If the difference between connectors is in volume, then match the volume.
A minute's calculation will show that the "volume difference" assertion is absolute nonsense. I'm still chuckling about the "low mass" stuff- less gravitational pull of electrons?
^ Piezoelectric-driven noise concerns, of course. Obviously, a higher mass design is going to store more energy from external vibrations, and, well, you know the rest. 😉

If you're not obsessed with over engineered macho audiophoolery the 60c Jaycar banana sockets I linked are just dandy.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.

Uh huh, you believe that right ?

Feel free to stick with your big boys' toys.
Maybe you need to buy a pair of special line fuses for your amplifiers ?
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..
No, I don't believe in using special fuses, I'm surprised you do. Stick to your belief system, it appears to suit you.

Why would I buy special fuses..
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.

post pics first ?
At least one of the black corrosion products of copper is extremely hard...........copper binding post .........I have got a pair of posts without plating. .............
It gets used as a blasting grit.
Unplated copper would have to be kept clean, even into the threads if these need to pass the current.
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....

Unfashionable and not all that pretty and shiny; but sure get the job done, and at an affordable price.

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.

Precisely what performance characteristics do you want the forum member to assess?
Do you have any suggestion?
He should check the refulgence, the perspicacity, and the lassitude. These vary greatly with mass and composition.
Do you have any suggestion?
No. I have absolutley no idea what you are trying to establish. I'm not entirely sure that you do either.
Until you are clear in your own mind exactly what it is you want to ascertain it is impossible to provide any meaningful advice or guidance.
Oh ... but mine does: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..

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 😉
