| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. but from my in depth studies on a dozen other things that shouldn’t matter, but do… little stuff that other folks with more experience than I recommend that don’t cost much, I’ll just do.

| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. They're heavy brass, not good. That link was onlty to illustrate what my binding posts look like. I don't know what B&W actually used. | |
