In Reply to: RE: Aeco ABI-0611G Gold Plated Binding Post. posted by mojul on August 10, 2022 at 17:35:12
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.

Follow Ups:
Although I do not have KLEI binding posts, I do have a number of their other products.
This started when I met Keith back maybe 15+ years ago.
I find an actual audible difference with his products (given the limits of actually swapping plugs over) and a difference of "quality", maybe timbre of sound when I use leads with his plugs.
I would recommend them highly.
Thanks for chiming in Ozpomfromhell,
Yet as I just looked at them | I'd rather not..., as mentioned like many I do tend to buy with eyes | ears, in our home anything which entered the front door, has to look good. I'm one of those types that cares about home enough to be concerned about decor as well.
Hence many of the photos used in my responses, many are because I love their sense of style | I save them into my photo albums as visual reminders of said options, until I've decided to actually purchased said item(s) | only then deleted.
Yes..., I'm weird that way, but aren't afraid to admit it. Home is where my heart | wife | family reside, it has to look the part, ever the system.
Oddly, I guess, I disagree and find Keith's products visually attractive.
Each to their own.
That's why many of us tend to use system from different brand | otherwise wouldn't it be boring if say 25-40 of your mates had identical components?, what would be the use of visiting their homes, when one could stay at home and hear exactly the same playback reproduction as them?.
And while some people like apples or oranges | I've always went against the grain | much preferred cherries. In the end it's okay if we all choose to be different than one another | or like the things we like, no?.
