Speaker jumper cables--a type of sound?


I can't seem to find any reviews/comparisons that focus on sound differences(warm vs.neutral) between various jumpers for speakers. Maybe because the conclusion is really that obvious---that manufacturers' jumper cables sound similar in tone, at least, to their speaker cables. Do any of you mix one brand of speaker cable with a different brand of jumper cable? With what results soundwise? Thanks for any data, insights or impressions.

The classic issues that can make a difference in cables are related to factors such as length, wire diameter, configuration and so on; these affect resistance, capacitance, inductance and can also make the cable sensitive to external EMI influences.

Jumpers, by definition, are very short and therefore tend to contribute little toward adverse effects in the above mentioned areas.

I have certainly read accounts here and there of people who prefer one type of jumper over another, but even then I would expect any change to be less dramatic than what one experiences with longer cables.

As always, the thing to do is experiment for yourself and then run with what makes sense to you.
