No binding post a good idea?


Hi.
I want to ask your opinion about my "No binding post" idea. I think the binding post degrades the quality of signal and sound very much because the post is made of one of larger metal in the signal chain. If a speaker cable from an amp is directly connected to speaker's internal wire, the signal will be purer. I have a design (pat. pend.) for a binding post without the metal connection bar. Do you think the sound will be better? What should I consider a relation to the sound with NBP?

My initial test was very positive. I'd like know your opinion before I invest money on this project. I appreciate your help in advance!

Hard wiring an amp and speaker provides the best connection. Unfortunately, this could be deemed a modification and could void some warrantees. Most higher end speaker cables cannot be bought un-terminated, therefore, you would have to modify the cables yourself, and thereby greatly reducing the resale value should you decide to go in another direction.
No Binding Post accommodates banana plugs, spade connectors, and bare wires.

I guess you never heard of 5-way binding posts.
Why are we discussing and debating a mythical product?

We all agree that hard wired will “generally” sound better than binding post.
