I concur but there's other important snippets omitted. The original posters that initially wrote about this and benefitted did so without benefit of high-end, single-piece silver conductors embedded in non-conductive binding post housings or even knowledge of ferromagnetic binding posts. What was it they were hearing since we know it wasn't silver? They simply started eliminating OEM gold and likely nickel-plated binding post parts and felt strongly SQ was enhanced. While not conclusive, a rather remarkable accomplishment for removing only totally inert & innocuous parts incapable of generating at least some measure of EMI. I struggle understanding how removing totally magnetic & ferromagnetic parts in combination can enhance SQ yet shouldn't be considered that EMI or more aptly a lack thereof isn't the primary cause or at least a contributing factor!?! The only place I see SQ enhancement coming from in this situation is specifically related to reduced EMI as gold over nickel-plated brass on a ferromagnetic binding post with steel split ring is to EMI what dark & damp is to fungus. They both thrive in those respective environments... the perfect storm. And while EMI is certainly not guaranteed in this case, my gut level instinct, due to those earlier SQ results and more current findings remains with it in 1st place suspect-wise. If it looks like a duck, waddles & quacks, I tend to see 'duck'... least till convinced otherwise. I suspect EMI will be BIG and hope you can make those measurements happen. And if we get to the bottom of it and EMI isn't a player I'm ok with that too as I believe there's gold (or is that silver) in them thar hills just laying around for the pickin and many will benefit directly. I want the enhancement without regard to how/why beyond a healthy curiosity. I'm heavily invested in it time-wise and want to see it though. I feel we're closer to that at this juncture than any time previously.
