| What are good jumpers for bi-wire spks? Drums: It will probably arrive in the mail shortly then. I have an extra pair of Castle speakers (that my wife wants me to sell) that I could try them on:-) | |

| What are good jumpers for bi-wire spks? Mapleshade's website is at mapleshaderecords.com, though last I looked the jumpers were not listed. They also do special recordings that have mixed reviews. The gear however receives good feedback from those that have used it. | |
| What are good jumpers for bi-wire spks? Pete: I was not aware that Maplshade offered jumpers. They might be right up your alley (and the price is right) as not to many people have posted in regard to their products (kind of unchartered territory). I am using their Double Helix digital c... | |
| arcam or creek for aegis ones The 302B would be my pick of the two Jolida amps as it uses EL34 tubes and sounds sweeter. The "B" models also have improved pots over the earlier models. | |
| What are good jumpers for bi-wire spks? Hi Pete: This is David Keil with the Twin's. What speakers are you trying out now? I made jumpers out of the same wire (Kimber) as Mikec suggests and it really opened up the HF's when compared to the flat bars that were supplied with my Castle spe... | |
| Traded the Most ? Swampwalker: I was looking at the CAL 10 or 15 model (can't remember which was the changer) in hopes of getting a good one and also considered the cheap Aiwa that is the talk of the town when combined with a good DAC, but I am still using the CAL ... | |
| Another 2,000 Speaker Question You may want to check out the Reynaud speaker line. You can read reviews at Audioreview.com for starters and search Audio Asylum forums for more info. I am an ex musician (mainly guitar but keyboard and clarinet as well, but no longer play after b... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor David: "Arch" balls meaning used in the same manner as crown molding in a room (for example I installed plaster cherubs in the uppermost corners of the main bedroom in this application). I just don't know if they should be reflective (plastic or p... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Jayboard: I checked both sets and they are OK. The only problem is that the sheet metal on the bottom of the CAL player is not completely flat. The cones however when tested on a sheet of glass with a little moisture between are very close. Thanks... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor Jim: Well we can't win them all or any sometimes. It must be a CA thing, we made drapes out of souviner table cloths for the spare bedroom (anything goes). I searched the Audio Asylum site Cable Forum using "cable and floor" and "cable and carpet"... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor I like the napkin ring idea myself. I wonder if you could find a cheap heavy coordinating base to glue to the bottom of each one (like little blocks or flat rounds of trophy marble or ceramic) and skip lining the ring itself as they should be elev... | |
| spades vs. bananas I agree with Bill as I have used good examples of both in soldered and solderless form. I do however think that a bare wire connection sounds different, better IMO. | |
| Freak Me Out Here's an easy one to find: The soundstrack to "Interview with the Vampire" on Geffen. I am using it right now to test a power conditioner on the mini system. | |
| Keeping cables off the floor Jim: I am just guessing, but soft wood vibrates a lot. Other than clearing my cables from the carpet fiber I also find that the sound gets muted when they touch the walls as well and assume that they must be picking up vibration received and then ... |
