Hello mojul,

Apologies for the delayed response | thanks for chiming in, as I was beginning to think no one was up for the road trip into the often overlooked subject at hand..., yet once again I'd much prefer something slightly different | and having spent 2.5 hours this morning looking at various amplification | just to study the binding post most of their manufacturers choose to place on their wares between the prices of $8.000-$35.000 was rather shocking to say the least, as many merely looked like some form of everyday usage of the binding post from Vampire | yet I do seem to recall these being copper based materials. It makes me wonder if consumers really are content buying any given price amp without questioning the quality of the RCA Inputs or Binding Post?, and merely settling?, or just don't care?, the only culture that I've noticed to seemingly get away with plastic or plain non-descriptive type binding post since the mid 70s to now has been most British designs..., even upper tier Naim Audio Amplification offers said design.

Yet more importantly via a friend of a friend ( Thanks for being the voice of logic Angus ) whom happens to be a very very competent technician with a heartfelt passion for all things tubes, and it one of those rare types that used to restore | mod vintage tube brands from the 50s | 60s, who's words I've to honor.

He suggested sticking with the all copper Cardas Audio CCBP S, of which I've be buying a quad of later on today | as I don't think $112 for 4 of them is going to cause me to have to sell body parts, I'm up for it, as mentioned I've done these three times in the past by merely taking the wiring harness from inside either of sad amps, after having installed a pure copper o lug onto said wire, just place it closest to where the bolts attach to the chassis | tighten them down | place the screws back into place | done.

Yet during said research, I've to say that while I'm not of the 1-2% which can afford $30.000 - $35.000 integrated amps, there are two which I'd if I could.., namely the Kondo | Audio Note Overture EL34 based design from Japan or the Dan D'Agostino Momentum, this one based upon looks along, I only wish I'd venture down the road a bit to Paragon's Sight | Sounds in Ann Arbor Michigan just to hear it.

Yet in my dreams..., it resides between my speakers on a custom sized amp stand in all its glory.

I do intend to buy a quad of the ETI Research binding post just for the sake of it, should the mood ever strike me to exchange to them from the Cardas Copper ones?. Life as it is, is beautiful | having said options makes it even more enjoyable.

Be well | Stay safe.
