No binding post a good idea?


Hi.
I want to ask your opinion about my "No binding post" idea. I think the binding post degrades the quality of signal and sound very much because the post is made of one of larger metal in the signal chain. If a speaker cable from an amp is directly connected to speaker's internal wire, the signal will be purer. I have a design (pat. pend.) for a binding post without the metal connection bar. Do you think the sound will be better? What should I consider a relation to the sound with NBP?

My initial test was very positive. I'd like know your opinion before I invest money on this project. I appreciate your help in advance!

I don't see how any of us can give you an opinion on something we haven't heard. Why not give some of samples out to other audiophiles that you know and see what they say?
Unfortunately...forum opinion is that this is a dead end product in terms of mainstream acceptance...regardless of testing....however for the DIY crowd...might be a fun experiment...anybody game to jump in the waters?
Phase - not the time to enter the cable market
Elizabeth-You might break even, but probably will lose your shirt.
I don’t have a choice. I need NBP for myself.

Don - Are you aware?
Yes. I know. And thank you Almarg for kind warning!

whatever sonic effects a conventional binding post
The influence of large metal in signal chain with conventional speakers may be little. Not with my speakers. The difference is huge. Anyone can hear and see the unbelievable openness and life like organic images.

give some of samples out to other audiophiles
Installing and evaluating a binding post is not easy task. I will send samples to many speakers and power amp manufactures. They have respectable sound systems and controlled room for evaluation. Whether they want or not, I need them for my speakers.

Thank you everyone for tips!

WBT is making something similar already, these look quite nice, saw them in person at this years CES

Best of luck

Thanks for info! I see a copper prong in the picture. NBP doesn't have any prong thou.
