you use Vampire OFC RCA panel mount females and Superior Electric posts......Problem with the cheapies is the material used in Taiwan is just awful to the point that Vampire ships over USA bar stock twice a year to be machined in Taiwan.......Superior Electric is the premiere binding post out there, they were the original designer which everyone copied and cheapened using poor materials.......Allied Electronics carries these for under $12 in red/black duals so they are a bargain..Part No. BP302BR10 is the one to get........You've read this much so I'll recount a story for you as got a call from Parasound and they were going on about how the Superior Electric cost five times as much as the ones they were getting from Taiwan.......The ones from Taiwan broke a bunch and haven't had one break yet in the JC-1s which use the Superior........I had some speaker lugs made in Taiwan out of supposedly OFC, got them in and they sounded just dirty as the devil and had to pitch the batch.......Mentioned this to Stuart Marcus of Vampire as wondered how he was able to get top grade material in Taiwan and found out he sent bar stock over twice a year......Point is you get what you pay for in most instances.......
