Get a pair of high quality jumpers.
Should I Bi-Wire or Use Jumpers?
I recently upgraded my 7 year old Kimber 4pr to Speltz Anti-Cable and this made a huuuge improvement... but I want to take it to the next level.
I'm currently using a pair of PSB Stratus Mini's, which can be bi wired but only have one single run of anti-cable along with the stock jumpers in place. My Denon PMA 2000ivr also has a and b speaker outputs for bi wiring.
My question is - will it make any difference if I use a double run on Anti-Cable to bi wire vs. a single run with the addition of anti cable jumpers? The price difference between the two is only about $50.00 so this isnt a concern but jumpers would be slightly easier to manage.
Oh yeah, If my current speaker wire has spades, can I also use jumpers with spades? For example having two sets of spade connections in ony binding post ( speaker wire and jumpers) or will this degrade the sound? Maybe a better option would be banana plugs for the jumpers.

In principle biwiring should provide some degree of improvement in accuracy, but subjectively that may not be preferable. See the following threads, especially my posts near the end, in which I provide a technical explanation: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1247245568 http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1247016622 Regards, -- Al |
