What say you binding posts or direct wire?


If I can get away with it I don't use BP. I find even the best like Mundorfs etc all sound inferior to direct wiring. Seems illogical to me to use costly cables hooked up to a binding post and then having just hook up wire after the posts. I get better-sounding results just by using quality speaker cable wired directly into my networks with the same cable type after to transducer.

this person also eliminated the selector knob on his linestage so that changing source components meant switching RCA cables (at least that wasn't hardwired).

Thus putting the plating on his connectors at risk. If RCAs and gold-clad, they won't last very long...

@johnk The next step of course is putting the amps inside the speaker so the connections are soldered at either end and the length is short. But if you have  tubes you might have problems with microphonics... Plus you'd be best off driving balanced lines to the amps to prevent the colorations otherwise caused by interconnect cables...
