Integrated Amp Jumpers

I appreciate all of your insight. Thanks!

Knownothing, thanks for your insight. I favor the sound of the Diamondback also when used as jumpers. I first used a 1.5m Diamondback as an amp/pre-amp jumper, which I replaced with a .5m King Cobra. The Diamondback was much more enjoyable as it was very holographic. The King Cobra on my system has a tighter more controlled sound most noticed in the bass response. I also spoke to a couple dealers about using the Diamondback vs the Audioquest dedicated black jumpers. I was told by both dealers that they are pretty much the same cables. Wondering how this i true? As you did, I also heard the Diamondbacks a vast improvement over the black jumpers. Based on what I have heard so far, I will more than likely get a .5m Diamondback to use as a jumper.

Knownothing,

How ironic is your name compared to the insight you have provided (smiling). That was a great explanation! Thanks again.

Well, I will give one of the dealers I spoke with credit as he told me the King Cobras would have tighter, more defined bass response compared to the Diamondbacks. He was right about that.

As far as checking out various cables, my choices are none. Living in a small city means placing orders without auditioning first in most cases.

I will be on the phone Monday ordering a pair of .5m Diamondbacks for use as amp to pre-amp jumpers.

I took the plunge on power cords a good while back. I am willing to give the caps a try. I would have to check into installation of caps since it doesn't look like a DIY project.
