Speaker cable binding posts

Last pic till I'm better at this as it makes me crazy! If this one makes it its the one taken just before buttoning the Dev back up and taking it for a test drive. The new WBT pure silver binding posts are what I use on everything in-house. Most importantly in this case it's also the binding posts on the speakers that the 200 is hooked up to. Of equal importance all my speaker cables are also solid core silver with 3% pure gold content. And all of my internal speaker wire from inside binding posts to crossovers to drivers/tweeters are also solid core silver. Now with the 200 I'm 100% pure silver from inside Dev binding posts all the way to XO's then drivers & beryllium tweets beyond that. As close as I can get to a single wire from Devialet-to-cones/tweets. Yes, even my custom crossover circuit boards are pure silver deposition electrical paths! True story!

Overall about 4 hours spent tho I could put it back to OEM in under an hour and back to here again 45 minutes after that. Most tedious part was modifying the WBT's slightly to make them plug right into the Devialet's internal speaker quick-connects. Tho I will tell you fastening the nuts that hold the binding posts in place from behind is a fiddly/fidgety affair due to a very confined area that doesn't afford a lot of finger/wrench wriggle-room. A 2nd chilled chard helps immensely!

But I've no doubt or concerns about the treat in store for me... not my first rodeo with these by a L-O-N-G shot!

Great job, Manoet!  Do you intend to use spades? or, bananas terminations (and remove the binding post barrels)?
