Nice Nakamichi spade and bananas are available on ebay cheap (really cheap if you search). Also found shrink tubing super cheap, stocked up on both and have made some cables that don't look home cobbled. Made jumpers with spades on one end and bananas on the other as I use bananas on my cables. You can choose all sorts of cable, google to see what people are doing.
WBT Power Bridges or Dayton Jumpers?
Doh! I just realized after months of testing that neither of my 2 pairs of Monitor Audio speakers that I bought here on Audiogon has their brass jumper bridges between their two sets of binding posts. Imagine the embarrasment/surprise finding out all this time I have been neglecting the bottom mid-woofer of my S10's. Better late than never, though, I suppose. The guy who I bought them from didn't have them bi-wired either...
So now, I'm faced with the task of trying to find suitable speaker jumpers. Just so you know, I've already bought 2 pairs of WBT 0725Cu's for $17 each, way too much for little pieces of copper in my opinion. This thread is about better options.
I tried looking for the original brass strips; no luck. I've read that pure copper does better than the stock brass ones, only to discover they were advertising these flimsy copper strips for $500 each!! True audiophile gear, I'd say (sarcasm...) Then I came about 1"-2" jumper cables from various cable companies like Cardas... $100+! Finally, there are these little gadgets like the ones listed in the title, and another by Cardas for about $15. I can't help but wonder if these things would fit binding posts of all different sizes, but I'll find out in 2 days when it ships.
Do you guys have any hints?
