Why not use a piece of silver wire instead of a jumper cable?

Hi all! I seen a lot of comments about the quality of the speakers jumpers and how some people replace them with a piece of speaker cable. I replaced the speakers jumpers with a piece of silver wire. I can not said that the difference is notable right away, except in some musical passages where with the stock brass jumpers I could heard some harshness. To my ears with the silver jumpers the upper frequencies sound a little silky, not a day and night difference but still worth the change.

Has anyone replaced the stock jumpers with a silver wire?

I use two pair of 12 gauge solid silver, one for each amplifier, and I'm very happy with it. Sure saves time and energy when I change amps. When I bought them from Tempo Electric, silver was still relatively cheap, same for the teflon outer insulation.

Teflon is good, BUT try air. Take a piece of # 22 OCC copper and rap that piece of pure silver about 1 turn per inch. Tuck it in the air tube. Tin the end with 4% silver solder and silicone the tube closed. Dip the ends in graphene dust and install in a 5 way binding post or add pure copper or silcer coated copper terminal ends and cold weld them (pressure) or screws, NO solder only to tin the ends. When you cench the screws they should pierce the tinning. If you use pressure, just use contact enhancer. before you compress the terminal end/wire with the dye.

Merry Christmas..

I don't use jumpers, but if I did they would be silver. I'm a big silver believer!
