[TV MAN]

I finally had a chance to progress on the construction. I started to change out my broken speaker binding post and found the new ones were slightly longer and of better construction, so I changed out the rest to hopefully avoid future problems. The originals sent with the kit appeared to be a type of pot-metal, but the new ones seemed to be actual metal. They are much better quality
   
First try, they wouldn't tighten up. The insulator was a little too thick, so I had to glean a little off with a cutter knife. After that, they tightened down nicely. Just a little does the trick. Loose plugs are irritating and can break wires. I recommend to just order a set of these right off if you decide to build this kit yourself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/381197534379?_tr...EBIDX%3AIT
   
Next is a shot of my terminal strip connectors. I used existing screw holes and carefully attached so as not scratch the stainless steel. The existing screw holes put the terminal strips right where I wanted them. These are something I added to the kit rather than using their method. I had these on hand from AES.
   
More to come ...
