There are so many images of improperly soldered Cardas binding posts on the internet that I decided to change my profile image to that of a somewhat correctly soldered Cardas binding post. I say "somewhat" because when I have the time I am going to redo mine by first looping the wire through the little hole and then soldering. I did not do this initially because I needed to be able to remove the nut, however, now I do not because I switched to Cardas mounting plates that mount over small cutouts in the back of my speaker cabinets.
This solder was done with a Weller 300/200, Cardas solder and extra flux. The solder will flow like water when heated with an iron having the correct wattage. A 60 watt iron ill heat the Cardas binding post sufficiently to melt the solder and make the connection. However, it will be a cold solder and will not sound as good as a wet solder. I know this from experience.
