800D binding posts

[caleb]

Anyone out there with the 800Ds had any problems with the binding posts being too smooth to grip the spades from your speaker cables??

I am using Chord Signature with spades and they keep slipping out - I have only finger tightened them so far - I dont want to get a pair of Mole grips on them to overtighten.

I haven't had a problem though they are a little slick to grip. Just make sure your hands are nice and squeaky clean and you'll have no problems. :P

By the way, I would only hand tighten. It's much too risky putting anything else next to the delicate finish.

Thanks Mate - I tried with very clean hands and it was better, then I tried my wifes rubber gloves and this gave a better grip still - now there is no movement.

What you need to do is these: First lose both bolts (on the same binding post), then put your spades in and tighten the big bolt, when it is very tight you are ready to tight the upper one, that way the upper bolt works as a security bolt and no matter wich cable you use, it gets very solid!
