[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1057882, member: 19443"] Copper has its limitations. We can design around those limitations. For instance, why work around an M5 thread? It?s difficult in copper. Why not M8 or 10. Go big on the outside, remove excess material on the inside. Even better- why have a thread at all? Who says a banana plug MUST be a male part. The binding post can be a copper stub, and hollow type bananas can slip over that stub. Even just a 40-50mm length of copper flat bar of 12mm x 2mm with 8mm holes drilled on either end for bolts and nuts will avoid the worst weakness of copper, for the purpose of binding posts. By departing the norm for binding posts, we can design around the limitations of copper. I?d still prefer a plating of some kind. [/QUOTE]
