Using speaker cable as jumpers


Hello, everyone
I'm kind of new in this forums, and I guess I will ask something already spoken here a couple of years ago.
I have a pair of Martin Logan's Ascent bought 2nd hand but the jumpers they "bring are 2 pieces of thick copper (pretty much oxidated). I'm wondering if I can/should replace them by Kimber 8TC (which are the cables I'm using with them).

Any suggestions / opinions will be pretty much apreciated.

Thanks

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
If you plan on keeping the Martin Logans, why not reterminate the Kimber to biwire configuration? Easy to do.
