QuoteIf I had those same speaker posts on my 100watt tube monoblock amps playing into sensitive low distortion full range speakers I would easily be able to hear the difference. Maybe not as obvious upgrading from the already good enough ones on AVA equipment to cardas all copper rhodium plated, less bang for the buck. I know that the posts on the Moscode amp are incredible, easily as good as anything in the aftermarket. Large, machined solid copper, knurled, easy to use. I used to have a link for aftermarket seller of them, but can't find it now, my point is they are not cheap! AVA is built to a price, it's not trying to be a Ferrari, instead focused on superb value.All this would be fine if these things were ever spoken of or treated as "subtle tweaks." But no one EVER says "the machined solid knurled copper rhodium plated posts made a subtle difference in my sound quality, which my subtle speakers [not to mention the rest of my - what, reference grade? - equipment] were capable of revealing." Because your sources had better be tip-top, too, I would think. Not only that, how the heck does anyone KNOW how these particular posts "sound" on the Moscode amp? Other than maybe George Kaye I suppose, who might have ever heard a Moscode amp without them. A signal passes through conductive material on its way from one component to the next. Gold vs. copper. Or silver. I'm to believe the solid copper half-inch along a circuit will provide a more transparent midrange and extended highs, as opposed to, you know, the actual quality of the amplification of the signal doing those things. It's just an awful lot to believe. Not that there may not be some very slight differences. I assume there are, though I doubt I could hear them reliably (I mean, what if the refrigerator suddenly cut on?). But people tend to speak in terms of good vs. bad here.

Zybar respectfully requested no debates in his review thread. I should not have replied to your off topic questions, but was actually trying to help. But now I know that was not necessary!
