The binding posts are silver-over-brass Audio-Notes well suited to bare wires, etc., but not spades.
I hardwired the OPTs' secondaries for low and high speaker impedances to avoid the use of exterior jumpers.The IC is new-to-me-but-now-discontinued Audioquest Panther, their used-to-be-best copper-conductor IC.
Hardwiring eliminates at least 2 sets of solder and one of mechanical connections, which HAS to sound better. :-)
