In fact the ABX comparator uses some of the finest 5-way

Why does it use such posts? There is no need. They all

the same, right?

Actually no, 99% of all reported problems with 'bad sound'
come down to poor connections, so top-quality connectors
are
always a good idea. Unfortunately, we're mostly stuck with
the
pathetic RCA. :-((((

Note that the ABX Comparator never used RCA connectors - it
supported balanced I/O and used TRS connectors for
line-level signals.
