I remember reading a post some years ago that made a lot of sense to me.
Instead of soldering all of the connections, this guy mentioned putting
threaded brass posts in and then soldering ring tounges on the ends of
your internal and external wires. You would then put the rings together
on the post and clamp them with a nut. Thus, you would have a very tight
connection between the tounges, the posts would not be in the circuit
and you could change things around fairly easily. Not as convenient as
RCAs and conventional binding posts, but still quick, cheap, with an
essentially guaranteed contact quality. I may start doing this -- think
of the savings with an almost assured quality increase.
