Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ?


........a quick question to the Audiogon group ; should the '' stock supplied '' jumper cables be upgraded if you do not plan to bi-wire ? Also, will it really make a sonic improvement ? Thank you in advance.

I have found that good quality jumpers sound much better than the stock jumper

I would use one run of the best speaker cable I could afford, and a jumpers made by the same manufacturer, rather than bi-wire cable of a lesser quality and no jumpers
I have used the Nordost  Reference Bi-Wire Jumpers and they were a major upgrade over stock jumpers... without doubt. The quality of the speakers you own... and your ears... will benifit highly.

With that said... I now bi-wire my system with identical speaker runs. My opinion is if your speakers have high resolving power...go with bi-wiring. Its a much more expensive proposition ... but the sound quality improves dramatically.  my 2 cents.
.....the current speakers cables are the Cardas Clear Beyond and a 2.5 meter pair were almost 5 figures......ouch. They took me awhile to pay off. I will check with Cardas as getting another run of those speaker cables in order to bi- wire is out of the price range. I will check with them to see what jumpers they have or would you run / use another company's ????
