Bluenose, I also have the paper thin ribbon jumpers. They sure don't look like much, but sound noticely better than the Analysis Plus Oval 12 jumpers with banana plugs that I had been using. Only the edge of the ribbon comes into contact with the binding post, which leads me to question all the hype I read about the importance of contact area. As for the speaker wire, it is not terminated, and only the bare end comes into contact with the binding post. Oxidation is not a concern, because the bare end is completely covered after the posts are screwed down, and I have them treated with Pro Gold. When you think about it, does having an extra gram or so of metal at the ends of your wire really help current delivery?
Acoustic Zen vs Homegrown or Mapleshade
Has anyone have any comments about the Acoustic Zen IC's vs Mapleshade Double Helix or Homegrown Silver Lace. I am going to shoot it out over these but would be interested in hearing comments from other good ears out there. Thanks for all the feedback. Its great to confer with others in the Audiogon world.
