Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!

I've had the opportunity to compare non-cryoed to cryoed pair of speaker cables, a few power cables, and several AC outlets in 2001-2002. I preferred the sound of the cryoed because I believe I heard more details and slightly deeper bass, and wider and deeper soundstage. The downside is a much, much longer time for the break-in to take place. Sometimes the break-in might take so long that the listener might lose patience and write the product off as subpar. I also remember that I didn't care for the sound of anything gold that was cryoed. With that said, long ago I decided to purchase a good cable cooker.

I hate to judge too quickly but it appears you’re not the only one who prefers cryo’d cables to uncryo’d cables since almost all high end cable manufacturers send them out already cryo’d. Almost everything sounds better cryo’d. In fact, I can’t think of anything that doesn’t. Hope that’s not too controversial.

I have 8 of these installed now. I like the design. Very simple and easy to use and solder. In terms of sound, this is just my initial impression as I only have some 6 hours on them. They have impacted the natural warmth the Duelund wire has by brightening things up a tad. Sharper leading edges and more brilliance. This however is not a good thing for me. I miss the natural warmth and ease. I hope this comes with time. I will report back after some 50 hours.

@grannyring - most plugs and cables from KLEI tend to go through a harsh spell and then settle down after around 20-30 hours.

They continue to get better as you approach the 120 mark.

They are very detailed, which some people may not like, but I’ve come to appreciate the additional details, especially when listening to live performance..

Pipe organ music is one area their improved details excel.

Because they convey to every facet of the waveform, I find they produce more reality from instruments and the musicians, which are also more precisely placed within the image

Looking forward to hearing more about these Bananas on the Duelund wire.

Cheers Steve

Funny that folks are asking about cryogenic treatment. I have not done any a/b testing as yet. However, on my current speaker project I am going to send out all my parts out for cryo treatment based on the overwhelming positive comments from folks who have tested.

After 24 hours I still find I lost a bit of the weight and resonate beauty/ tone of my music collection. These connectors, as of 24 hours, highlight the upper mids and highs in much the same manner a yellow highlighter makes words and phrases jump out on paper. I prefer the words not jump out at me, but rather allow me to enjoy the text on my own terms if you will. The bare wire has all the words (details) but they are not highlighted in the manner the banana connectors seem to convey.

Remember this is in comparison to direct, bare wire connection and not vs. other connectors. 

Only 24 hours thus far and perhaps things will change. If not, I will have 16 of these to sell 😢
