and is not an ideal way to shield the connection from degredation. The seepage of gas is slow, but occurs nonetheless.Additionally, clamped wires can be unstable and may have varying degrees of resistance along the length of the clamp. Properly soldered and varnished would be more stable over time. The keys are the proper solder joint and the composition of the solder.

Thanks. I take the point that proper soldering would be the best solution.
But assuming one wants flexibility, doesn't clamping has the same effect as using bare wires with a binding post, as far as varying degrees of resistance is concerned?

A binding post clamps a round (I am assuming here) wire to a flat, stable surface. Clamping two wires is clamping two round, unstable surfaces together. Though the differences may be minor they will exist. The question is whether or not you can hear them with your ears on your system.
