    No, that just means that I bought waaay too much when I did my first 1C crossover and binding post upgrade,I used the Cardas ccgr short IIRC.The last ones have the Vampire BP-Hex posts on them,which I'll be selling sooner than I thought,because of this "vinyl" addiction.:)

    I think that it's a matter of personal preference. The Cardas are more expensive than the vampire,,and as Jesse mentioned,,when you solder the wires to the binding post,don't have them "seated",as that particular connection requires some heat IIRC.But to answer your question,I like the cardas because of the "fit and feel", and to me were easier to install.

    Radio Shack. Silver bearing solder for signal connection, and the regular stuff for electrical connections.
