Welcome to our ETI Research BP-20C Binding Post Review, your guide to one of the most versatile and cost-effective high-performance binding posts on the market. Designed for audiophiles who demand purity, the BP-20C elevates signal integrity by harnessing the superior conductivity of 1100 series hardened copper with an IAC rating of 102%. Read on to discover how this no-nickel, gold-plated solution can transform your Hi-Fi setup.

Exceptional Design & Build Quality

The BP-20C sets itself apart with its meticulous selection of materials. The 1100 series hardened copper core guarantees minimal resistance and maximum signal transfer, while the direct gold plating—applied without any nickel interlayer—preserves the full frequency spectrum. Encased in a dual-housing structure of aluminium over a high-density polymer, the assembly rejects EM/RF interference and ensures only pure copper touches your audio conductors.

Uncompromised Acoustic Performance

By excluding inferior brass and nickel layers, the BP-20C maintains signal fidelity from bass to treble. The poly resin nut isolates the copper post, eliminating potential contact resistance and delivering a rock-steady connection. Expect a transparent soundstage, tight bass articulation and a remarkably low noise floor—even in RF-noisy environments.

Flexible Installation & Compatibility

Whether you prefer soldering or the traditional screw-down method, the BP-20C has you covered. Its 20 mm post length is optimally dimensioned for chassis- and speaker backplate mounting. The polymer threading prevents stray conductive contact, simplifying installation while safeguarding against oxidation and mechanical wear.

Who Should Consider the BP-20C Binding Post?

• DIY amplifier builders seeking uncompromised signal pathways.
• High-end speaker manufacturers requiring precision connections.
• Enthusiasts looking to upgrade existing binding posts without a full system overhaul.
• Home theatre hobbyists who demand robust EM/RF shielding.

Pros & Cons

• Pros:
  • Superior conductivity via 1100 series hardened copper (IAC 102%).
  • Direct gold plating ensures zero frequency loss—no nickel impurities.
  • Aluminium/polymer housing for robust EM/RF noise rejection.
  • Dual installation options: screw or solder.
  • High-density polymer nut for optimal signal isolation.
• Cons:
  • Sold only in 4-piece (2 pair) packs, which may be more than needed for single-pair applications.
  • Post length of 20 mm may require additional spacers in some custom speaker enclosures.
