Well, I got around to making my own jumpers- 8 AWG hook up wire (thank
you Lowes), banana plugs ( Nakamichi- really- that's how they are
branded- from eBay) soldered with WBT silver solder.
First thing I put on- Muddy Waters Folk Singe LP (45rpm).
So far I certainly discern no harm. This LP has a certain jump factor which
it still has in ample quantity. Yet I also discern a more distinct sound stage
width which makes no sense to me at all. Wonder what going to AP + Oval
9 jumpers would do-
Then again, perhaps it's how I have everything wired
The speaker cables go to the high input
The jumpers wind up only feeding the woofers whose crossover frequency
is 220hz. Years back when I had magnepans I added a sub. Sure I got
more bass but I also experienced a wider soundstage- as if a more solid
bass was the foundation of a wider stage. These little DIY jumpers, only
feeding my woofers, are doing something similar.
Not a bad $12 investment!
