A pic of my cables hooked up.
Nice clean cable routing very nice.
I don't know if it works for more than his speakers but the golden eared listener in our group researched and found that the main wire to the speakers should go to the tweeter and the jumper to the woofer. Doubt I could hear that difference but if he can and can explain it well enough for me to get an idea...well just glad I don't have to use jumpers like that on my speakers, I guess. Then I don't have to be able to hear the difference.A pic of my cables hooked up.
Some speakers ship with brass jumpers, and brass is a poor conductor. The IACS rating of copper is 100%, whereas brass is 28%. I would think that has a chance of being audible. This is why some companies sell replacement jumpers made of copper wire.I don't know if it works for more than his speakers but the golden eared listener in our group researched and found that the main wire to the speakers should go to the tweeter and the jumper to the woofer.

One might easily assume that alloys such as the brasses and bronzes, because they are mainly copper, are nearly as conductive as copper. This is not the case. The small percentages of tin, aluminum, nickel, zinc and phosphorus that make up these alloys degrade the electrical performance of the resulting alloy to a far greater percentage than their compositional percentage in the alloy.
True...I let the experts figure that stuff out.Well! I still don't quite understand, but at least now I know. Thanks
Really surprised by the difference between copper and silver and really surprised the aluminum is a better conductor than silver.Then again, to belabor the point a bit, 1) brass terminal jumpers are often proportionately larger in mass than copper wire (obviously copper wire gauge varies) and 2) that particular expert assigns a specific value to brass whereas brass varies in composition. Bronze also varies. I'm not gonna sweat this one too much, though I can certainly see the point.
It's not. Silver is best (lower left corner) and then it's downhill from there. As you see, silver and copper are quite comparable and given silver's tremendously reactive properties in air (well, in air that contains sulphur) it's not actually well-suited to purposes here. We use gold for plating not because it conducts better (it doesn't) but because it's remarkably stable and inert. However, some gold electroplating is barely one molecule thick. Which means it can be scratched very easily.Really surprised by the difference between copper and silver and really surprised the aluminum is a better conductor than silver.
Just got a “Cullencable” Power Box..
Not much on looks..(will insert it into a custom wooden box some day)
10 awg. Silver coated Copper (power cable)
Carbon Fiber connector (wall plug)
No switches, or removable cable.. (less connection points)
20 amp RF/EMI filter ..(inside box)
12 Awg 99.99% Pure Silver Plated Wires..(inside box)
3 Pass & Seymour Audio Grade Receptacles..
Now my entire system goes in and of One 10 awg. cable ,,
Per some Audiophiles , “Unites all of the grounds from every component in the system to One grounding Point”..!!
Still kinda messy, ..!!
