Geez, do you suppose I could sell these to audiophiles for $150 each?
Gold plated binding posts to grab their 10-gage gold-plated speaker wire, nyaaahhh! You would need to have them crygenically treated first. :-) http://www.kasaudio.com/accessories.asp http://www.cryogenicsinternational.com/audio.htm Best Regards, Keith Marshall "I'm not grown up enough to be so old!"

The electrons arrive at the speakers before they leave your amplifier so there will never be any loss of audio quality due to phase shift caused by a impedence deprived standard binding posts.

Individually hand-machined from cryogenically treated billet. Transient attacks are crisp and the sound stage has that layered depth previously heard only from the most expensive binding posts.

Warning: metal content. http://users.goldengate.net/~dforeman/binding_posts/ They are far too beautiful for me to use my "gilding a turd" expression for them. Plus, I spent a couple of hours last week "engineering" and making a one off custom magnetic catch to keep the folding door on our front hall coat closet from springing back open if someone was careless about how they hung up a heavy coat and left it bulging out enough to push the door back open. The existing compression spring at the end of the door track which was supposed to work by pushing against the edge of the closed door so that it had to toggle a bit to open because the center hinge pivots are coplanar with (plus a tiny bit) the inside of the door wasn't strong enough to do its job right. I used a 3/4" diameter rare earth magnet set in a turned steel cup on an aluminum bracket mounted near the center of the top of the door frame where it could it grab a piece of 18 gage steel screwed to the back of the door adjacent to where it "folds". That sucker held the door closed so well I had to put a couple of layers of masking tape on the steel to ease it up a bit. Not THAT was turd gilding for sure...
