In the interest of WAF, I decided to do away with the audioquest crystal speaker cable (someone here referred to it as Garden watering hose or some such). Step1 was to replace it with some Kimber 4PR that was going cheap on CAM (CanuckAudioMart), in doing so I went from bi-amp/bi-wire to bi-amp only (a pair of bryston 2B's) - so I had to put the cheap stamped gold colored jumpers back on. Too many variables to make a definite conclusion, but it sounds alright to my tin ears! Actually some 'sparkle' restored, perhaps. Next step is to cut the 4PR's in half and terminate them into something other than the cheap AMX bananas and go back to bi-wiring and loose the jumpers.
As an interim, interim I might cut 6inches of the Kimber and use that as jumpers, unterminated. We shall see, as time permits. Really, I would rather just listen to the music then muck about. -- alZmtbr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ alZmtbr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8773 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34318 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
