Need help re Quad 909 Binding Posts


I would like to replace them but the shop I have used locally (ACI in the metro Washington, DC area) does not want to take on the job. Any suggestions for shops in MD or VA suburbs of DC, or in DC? (The posts don't take anything other than bare wire very well, and even that method of connection gives me pause, because the holes in the posts do not go all the way through.) Thanks!

I found a picture of the back of the 909 and it does look as if all you have to do is get the plugs out of the center of the binding posts, as Geared4me suggested. I've at time had to resort to drilling a very small hole into the center of the plug to give a place to get a small screwdriver tip into the plug and work it out.

If you accomplish that, the BFA-style banana plugs that Reubent suggests are the way to go. A good option in addition to the Nordost Z-plugs are the Audioquest plugs.
