WBT binding posts

Hi all, I bought a vintage Hitachi amp, so I need to change binding posts, because I can't connect cables to those tiny 70's holes. If there is someone here who is familiar with this - can you please tell me which are better and why: "classic" WBT 0763 or the "NextGen" WBT 0703cU? Thank you very much!

Before you start on this open up the amplifier and check inside to see if you have room for the new binding posts, the available space will likely dictate which ones to choose.

Best of luck

Thanks Peter, yes, plenty of room inside, so it’s just a question of which one is better, 0763 or 0703Cu.

I'd probably use the nextgen, they are however pretty fragile and break easily, as long as your aware of it you should be fine.

Best of luck

Thank you Peter, you have just helped me a lot, of course that I will go with the classic WBT 0763 then!

Is the design and build of the WBT along the lines of the Cardas binding posts? Gold over copper, no brass involved?

I think so, yes, it's all here:

But WBT are probably more expensive and possibly better, if not the best.
