Best cable for Jumpers


Hello all;
This is my first post and would like to start giving my compliments to everyone.
I am asking for an advice about the best cable to make two pairs of jumpers for my B&W speakers. I don’t like the original ones and besides I loss it. I wave a Transparent Super MM single wire. I am not sure but I think transparent doesn’t sell cable without termination and I am sure that buy a set´s of terminated jumpers will cost a fortune. Since I can do it by myself, what cable do you recommend?
Thanks,
Jveiga

I don't know what type of binding posts B&W uses, but if the nuts come off, excellent jumpers can be made from electronics-grade copper foil with holes punched or drilled through to the diameter of the posts. Solderless, minimal metal mass, negligible skin effect, and cheap. Use polyolefin heat-shrink tube to seal the mid section of each jumper.
We can probably agree that the binding posts, and the junpers serve only a practical purpose, have no sonic benefit, and are a necessary evil. Why not, if possible, eliminate (so to speak) the unused pair of binding posts and jumpers altogether, and make your speakers single-wired.

Access to the rear of the binding posts should be very easy. Unsolder the wires attached to one pair of posts, and solder them onto the other pair, making sure that you maintain correct polarity. It will cost you nothing, and if anything will provide a sonic benefit, this is it. It will be easily reversible if you ever want to do so. If you don't know how to use a soldering iron, and you are looking to spend anything over $100 anyway, from a sonic benefit standpoint, it would make sense to pay a technician one hour's labor to do so. It would probably take (or you) about twenty minutes to do so.

Good luck.
Take some 12 gauge romex wire and strip off all the insulation. No need to use any connectors, just attach directly to the terminals. Of course you want to make sure the wires don't touch one another or any other metal. Great sound and economic recession friendly.
