In Reply to: RE: Impact of jumpers posted by pc123v on March 22, 2016 at 09:15:24
The jumpers can change the sound phenomenally. Infact if you are on a budget and do not have a very high end speaker cable you can compensate for that by using a better jumper. From my experience the jumper tends to dominate the speaker cable and kinda superimposes its character onto the speaker cables character. For example I was using the Chord Sarum jumpers and they made the sound super articulate. I could hear every last syllable that was sung. When I switched to the Audience AU jumpers the sound became lush and sounded like the Audience's house sound. I was using a Supra 3.4 cable all the time and was able to refine the sound tremendously by including a higher end jumper.
You can try getting bare wire from vandenhul and using that as a jumper as it will be cheaper and will change the sound depending on what you are looking to get out of the same.

I call BS on this - just pull the plate from the speaker and look at the wire coming from the crossover to the speaker post. Use something similar to wire your post together as you would biwire on the outside. Save the kilo bucks spend on jumpers and buy more music!
daleda....the big problem with a site like this is that people make grand stupid statements that are completely false..... There should be a filter for such things.
If you mean the op I have to agree!
What's with the aggression my friend? Jumpers do make a difference and they don't cost a kilo buck. Infact you can use cheaper speaker cables and save a kilo buck if you add a higher spec jumper. Please read others takes on using the Kimber monocle with the select jumpers and getting performance close to the select cables. What speaker did you use? Every speaker manufacturer voices their speaker using a set of electronics and cables that you and I have no clue about. When one mixes and matches components one has to try and get an optimum balance that appeals to ones perception of sound and that my friend may require tweaking the jumpers as well.
If you crimped a foot or so of expensive cable onto the end of an economical cable, no matter whether speaker had single or bi-wire-able post, you may end up with a facsimile of the expensive cable.
Kind of like use an expensive power cord even though the current travels through many feet of regular house wire first.
This could start a new trend. Yikes... :)
Cheers!
