Working on a little upgrading of a pair of Innersound Eros electrostatic/tl hybrids, including changing out the woofer wire and upgrading binding posts. I'm experimenting with some DIY cable stuff, and when I settle on a woofer cable, may end up just soldering direct to the driver (spades on amp end), but for the electrostatic panel section, would go with binding posts (did also think about the "clamp the wire together without binding posts" idea, but there are a couple transformer wires per binding post, would be easier to deal with just soldering to the binding post.) I used Superiour Electrics before on Quad 63 USA Monitors, and they seemed to work well there. Have not read any comments recently on the Superiour posts, and thought about it, though I am intrigued by some of the pure copper stuff (like Cardas), copper is a better conductor than brass of course. The Superiours are gold-plated brass, while Cardas and Vampire make pure copper (or plated copper) posts. One thing about pure copper, of course, would probably be a monthly Deoxit treatment (I live in NYC, not the cleanest air here!) That would be ok.
