Shindo speaker binding posts

[maril555]

Anybody knows what brand of speaker binding posts Shindo uses in their power amps?
I know they use Switchcraft RCA terminals and connectors, but I don't think Switchcraft makes speaker posts.
Thank you.

This may sound antagonistic, although it isn't meant as such, but does it really matter? Too much focus is put on cable jewellery. The sum is much much greater than the parts in the case of most systems, and especially so for Shindo.

I think it does. Shindo makes a very strong point of using very specific ancillaries with their equipment- cables, connectors, power conditioning, support systems, etc.
In lieu of that philosophy, I was wondering about the speaker terminals
Got absolutely nothing to do with audio jewelry.
Switchcraft they use for RCA plugs is $2.49 a piece,
And a a side note- there is very little mysticism about Shindo- just another design approach, that works

What I mean is, why worry? If you are buying into the philosophy, just go with the flow.

Did I sound that worried?
Inquiring minds want to know. That's all

I think the op has a legitimate question. What would be the problem with answering such a simple question Neil. Your answer gives more steam to the people who complain about the whole attitude around Shindo gear. It's not like he is asking to see inside a 604 cabinet to see the secret sauce.

I think as a dealer your answer could have been better Neil.

Oh, Neil is a dealer! That explains it!
IMHO, this kind of attitude could only deter potential Shindo clients, many of whom are probably an intelligent human beings, and don't need this kind of patronizing attitude: "Just buy Shindo, because we (dealers) told you it is good".
I think I've gotten the point about the whole Shindo philosophy and approach
awhile ago.
And sorry to say, but you are just a salesman, and do have an agenda, as such.
Again, there is no mystery about Shindo, neither it is a religion. It's just another good design among many others.
Had my BMW dealer displayed this kind of attitude, I'd be talking to his general manager in a hot minute.
I'm pretty confident to say, that I know about my BMW quite a bit more, than a person selling it to me.
Sorry for coming across this way, but you kind of asked for it.
And remind me to never buy from you neither.

Guys, honestly not meant in an antagonistic way at all! Really! I am really over all the contention and madness. I meant it in a serious non hostile way as in, if you like the approach, why does it matter? It's not a religion, and we're all in the same boat enjoying the same stuff!
I certainly didn't mean it like "Just buy Shindo, because we (dealers) told you it is good"
Really, honestly! You already know it is good, no one needs to tell you that at all.

No offence intended at all, only good vibes from me.
Let's all just enjoy our systems and music.

Neil is a good guy who has proven to be very valuable to people learning about the brand.

I just think that the answer to this question was not as good as it could have been.

Honestly dudes, no malice was intended at all! We're all fans of the same stuff. Life is too short for this...
I truly apologise if you thought I was being a dick, I really wasn't intending that at all.
