Jumpers - how long is long enough


This question relates to the jumpers found on speakers with Bi-wire terminals

Most people agree that most of the jumpers provided should be replaced.

But how long should the new jumpers be?

A fellow audiophile who has spent some time investigating this recommends at least 50 cm
- he also recommends the neutral be of a larger gauge and 70cm in length

I have no reason to doubt his observations, because he is extremely thorough with his research and I have also found his observations to be beneficial..

I was just wondering if anyone else had similar findings they would like to share on this topic

I heard some big ol’ tri-amped Koss Model 1 electrostatic speakers once upon a time driven by three Tube amplifiers. Pretty neat, pretty cool.

Yes, but remember geoff said its more important that it be going in the right.... oh never mind.

I strongly suspect direction of the jumper cable is more important than the length, all other things being equal.
