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. :-)

Very nice! But if you want to sell them to audiophiles you'll need to
charge $1500 for a pair and rave on about how they improve the tonal
flatulence or something.

These binding posts were designed incorporating elements of string theory
providing distortion free electron movement troughout the electromagnetic
spectrum in all eleven parallel dimensions. 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. Bass is
tight and extended; highs are pure, with none of the harshness you
usually hear.

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...

No problem. I'll just set them out on the deck for a few days, here
in MN!

THAT'S how stuff USED to be made by the good companies..."

That is eerily like the magazines - do you write for them? ;^)
