Biwire vs Single/jumper: Cardas Golden Ref


My experience - similar to others per these discussion boards - is that the effect of moving to internal bi-wire (or even shotgun pair) from single wire plus jumper is a little bit unpredictable.

Specific question: what was your result comparing Cardas Golden Reference in single wire with jumper versus internal biwire at the speaker end?

Current speakers are Silverline 17.5 .
Amp is Cary SLI-80.

Thank you.

After numerous speaker wire experimenting I've come to the conclusion that running my bi wired Ref 3A Grand Veenas with a one metre single run of Cardas Golden Hex 5C and using the Ref 3A solid core jumpers is the best solution so far.

I should add that I run the speaker wires in the diagonal wiring scheme, which also sounds better than any of the other options using jumpers.
