Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ?


........a quick question to the Audiogon group ; should the '' stock supplied '' jumper cables be upgraded if you do not plan to bi-wire ? Also, will it really make a sonic improvement ? Thank you in advance.

I agree with viridian.
Also, you can easily make your own jumpers out of the many bulk speaker cable or hook-up wires available.  Put a spade connector on one end and a banana on the other so you can attach them without interference from your speaker cables, regardless of whether your speaker cables use spades or bananas.
Finally, if you plan to keep the speakers for a long while, consider removing the binding post plate and soldering the cables to a single pair of binding posts for the best connection, then no jumpers are required.
