Jumper Cables vs Stock Jumper Plates

There ya go! The OP obviously needs to replace those brass jumper plates with gold-plated silver ones! I could make him a custom pair for about, oh, a couple thousand dollars. Add $600 more for cryo treatment.

Or, he could just skip the jumpers and do a passive by-wire. Cut the cables' series resistance in half, and open up all kind of opportunities to mix 'n' match expensive cables!
 
More than happy with the improvements over those thrash stock bridges, cant ask for anything more. All for the price of a few bucks. Those that said things like it wouldnt have an audible effect have definitely not taken the inferior stock plates into account. Im glad I tried it out myself. Off to enjoy some Kenny G now.

LOL you paid for those pieces of wire? Good grief :) That your speakers even have those nonsense things on them in the first place....but am sure it will be great for some Kenny G in any case. Weird troll overall tho.

The truth is hard to swallow, but you can keep standing in your corner all day long. Good luck living in fantasy land!
 
Electrical damping of the tweeters is important. I need some BRASS jumper plates for my QUAD S2s if anyone wants to sell their brass ones, I'm in the market.
 
Conductivity wise. Also a stranded wire has a better contact patch when screwed down comapared to something solid. There have been many cases where connections were loose and sq went down considerably. And yeah, it also depends on surface area but I can imagine a thick stranded copper wire (10awg and higher) having a better contact patch than a solid piece of gold plated brass (which is what came with my speakers). Conductivity wise, I have had quite some experience with it, as a competitive vaper voltage drop is an issue we always face and a thin strand of OFC as a switch always outperforms a switch made out of brass. So it might probably show on the paper but whether its audible or not Im not sure.
You do know there is a documented blind test where so called experts couldn't tell the difference between expensive speaker cables and wire coat hangars?

The difference in resistance based on type of wire (solid or stranded) used is so minuscule that there would no difference in audibility in a blind test, so long as the average gauge of the wire used is the same for all instances.
 
The material is immaterial, the only thing that matters is the resistance of the conductor between the binding posts. A couple of pieces of coat hanger or baling wire will do the same thing.

I guess I should have used a sarcasm emoji in my response.
Thank you, @Devnull, No, not my advice, no sarcasm emoji necessary.... good luck and all the best with your effort/s :=)
