Okay, I've searched and searched. I'm looking for single binding posts, Cardas, to replace my SDA interconnect post so I can start using better cable. I want to leave the original speaker binding posts intact for now. I've looked over at Soniccraft and diycable.com and can't find single binding posts. Am I missing something here?

Thanks guys :smile:

    Dude, I love you man. You unscrew the binding post from the little black bar it's connected too and there you have it single binding posts.

    Try places like Music Direct or I buy some stuff from a site called Dedicated Audio.

    They carry Cardas specifically, that's what you asked about, right?

    Cardas is my favorite binding post that I have used. I like the Vampires as well but I would skip them for the Cardas..

    Haha, I guess I was missing something.

    What confused me where those little black plates that the binding posts are attached to. I assumed someone sold single posts with those plates but by the looks of this pic that I found this morning, I was wrong.

    Yes! Were you able to get gaskets for the passives?

    You may have to mod the holes in the terminal cups to get the posts to fit.I had to drill them out a little to get the eichmann cable pods I used to fit.
    I do know that vampire makes some that fit.Doro knows which vampires are a drop in replacement.
    I see your not going to replace the speaker binding posts..........My bad....You may still have to mod the IC post hole though.

    You may have to bore the holes out slightly, not difficult with the proper sized drill bit.
