Jumpers


Which offers superior sound- jumpers or a separate run...or is there no difference? 

What’s the general consensus...?

Well, here's yet another take.  I've been using AZ Satori shotgun biwire cables (spades) forever and slightly prefer them to a single run with my speakers.  Then Chris Sommovigo (then from Stereovox) recommended in addition to the shotgun cables I should try also using his jumpers with banana connectors at the same time.  I was pretty skeptical but agreed to try it, and I'll be damned but there was a noticeable improvement mostly in the form of tighter and quicker bass.  I pulled the jumpers out and sure enough, the bass sounded relatively looser and sloppier such that the jumpers haven't been removed since.  Now, I can't be sure if the improvement is due to the physical design/sound of the jumpers versus my cables or something like reduced resistance, but I suspect it could be a little of both.  I guess my bottom line point is that even if you're already using a shotgun biwire configuration there could still be meaningful benefits to using quality jumpers.  And it could be a relatively cheap tweak.  Sorry if I went off topic here.
