Speaker Jumpers My Story

[hifinutt]

i spent several months trying lots of speaker jumper cables , analysis plus , vertex aq , townshend , the best for me was the chord signature but its amazing what a difference they make which is why i prefer single binding posts now , no obsessing over jumpers !

I definitely prefer jumper cables made of the same stuff as my main cables, in preference to either bi-wire with cheaper cable or the original metal links. The main cables, terminated with 4mm plugs, go into the bass inputs and the jumpers, fitted with spades, then link to the mid-treble terminals.

Burning off plastic wire surround with a gas powered soldering iron does a good job.

And gives off highly toxic fumes. NOT to be recommended.

Interesting as my own results were the opposite.

I too have used Silver Spiral, in my case with a pair of Ruark Equinox's and in my case the SS links (terminated with large spades) sounded better than the original jumpers. System synergy is a weird thing at times but it is everything.

Hi Neil, Yeah - I really suspect it was due to the crappy makeshift way the ends of mine were done, hence very limited bare wire on all ends, little stumps really so most defiantely not the greatest connection to the posts to say the least. The jumpers were also very short so mad tight and strained when fitted. I will look to get some 'proper' SS jumpers with spades at some point and expext a good result as the SS speaker cable in my system is great .

I can't stand this tale of woe any longer. What is the distance between the terminals and are the holes positioned to pass a length of wire through ?

PM me your address and I'll send you some jumpers made from Chord cable.

Gosh! Wasn't meaning to sound so pitiful but big thanks for your very kind offer Dave which is very much appreciated. The distance between the terminals is around 3 - 4inch approx at a guess, I'm at work - (Mission 752 Freedoms) and yes holes positioned to pass a length of wire through ? PM sent Dave .

Hi Dave,

Ive got the same problem, but my jumpers need to be in Tellurium Black about 3 meters long

Nice one Martin, too funny or even Atlas Mavros cable

Wow, just looked up that Atlas cable - is that £1000 per meter?

How can anyone justify that much?
