Pure silver solid wire jumpers???

Hi
I got some pure silver wire 18 ga with teflon tubing, and I was wondering if I can make a pair of jumpers for my Taylo Reference Monitors to replace the usual gold plated ones. I use an Audioquest Pikes Peak single wire in the tweeter section.
I plan to connect the bare silver wire directly to the spekaer binding post.
Does anyone know if this can damage the speaker? and If it will sound better than the usual gold plated jumper?
Any advice will be great.
Thanks
Alan

Alan,

I tried something similiar with your speakers when I owned a pair. I did not stick with the silver but Au24 as it gave the best performance with my setup.

Unfortunately, whatever jumpers you are using are still going to go through the Dh-Labs internal wire which your speakers are wired with.

Think about maybe having Ty re-wire them with something consistent to what you are using speaker cable and interconnect wise..

Good Luck..

Alan,

Ty is very helpful and offers custom wire choices when you purchase the speakers new. Unfortunately, the Dh-Labs just did not gel with my set up. I attributed some of the harshness you have mentioned to the Dh-Labs. I just do not like Silver Plated Copper.

Good Luck!
