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?

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.. |
Your silver wire jumpers are probably as good as anything you could purchase. If they sound good to you, then stick with them. However, some like terminations on their jumpers for convenience. Wire and connectors that might work well for those making their own jumpers include 5N OCC 14awg copper, or 5N OCC 16awg silver. Consider KLE Bananas, which are silver plated pure copper and are stackable, and simple copper spades like these from Vampire or these silver plated copper spades from Xhadow. |
