I'll be running exactly the same setup as before (click pic) with only difference being WBT's instead of OEM binding posts. My speaker cable terminations consists of F'tech CF-202R banana terminations at all 4 ends per cable pair that feature a black composite damping ring (the black mass between binding post & knurled SS/CF sleeve in pic above) as its specifically designed to work with and compliment a heavier mass as is more commonly practiced than a gutted/stripped down low-mass binding post. My personal opinion is where electrical resonances & vibrations are present mass is your friend. I haven't tried removing the clear plastic barrels recently as when I attempted it several years ago when this particular precept started garnering attention I couldn't hear any positive or verifiable improvement in my system at that time. In fact quite the contrary occurred. Nor was I able to find any valid theory how any lighter object might resonate/vibrate at a lower rate than a heavier object in a similar/identical situation... its kinda 'the law' with audio. I'm presuming that same trend would continue today as only thing that's changed for me is the Devialet but none of the cords, cables or terminations and Devialet boasts a far more rigid rear metal accessory mounting panel being of similar width & thickness to conventional component width/thickness but roughly only 1/4 the height which dramatically enhances rear panel rigidity, further damping vibrational influences on all in/out connections plugged into said panel.
Statements in my posts are opinion only, not to be construed as fact. Any projects I engage in are at my own risk! Their outcome cannot be assured and may result in success, small/no change or catastrophic failure. I encourage no one rely on anything I say or do as gospel and to realize your mileage may vary!
