Using speaker cable as jumpers

I also made my own jumpers made out of the same speaker cable that I'm using. This is a critical connection that is often over looked. I've tried a couple different options from using the stock bronze plates to a couple different speaker cables. All made a noticeable sonic difference in my rig.

If you are using the Kimber for your speaker cables and are happy with the synergy they are making, then by all means keep the jumpers Kimber too. But before I did that, I would clean the old jumpers with some caig deoxit and see how they sound cleaned up. Then do a shoot out between the old cleaned jumpers and the Kimbers.

The most important thing is a good clean tight connection. Check to post for corrosion too. You could use the same, or some wire, just as long as they can't short between plus and minus.

Cordovox - I use Audioquest biwire jumpers gold plated high purity copper. You can buy them in gold or silver plated version. Theoretically silver is much better conductor but we're talking about very thin layer of plating while gold is more practical (no oxidation). You can get them from any Audioquest dealer or Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/SET-4-GOLD-BIWIRE-JUMPERS/dp/B005A5Z758/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1313469919&sr=8-2

Lack of dielectric is a good thing too.

Why not just polish the copper jumpers you have now? The speakers were voiced with those jumpers and they are inserted at the crossover point.

Thank you all for the advise.

I'll try both cleaning the copper wire and also w/ the Kimber.

Also, I might try silver connections as I have a friend who works with jewelry, so ,it might be easy and cheap.

I'll let you all know the results.

Take care

Best regards
