Hi Pete: This is David Keil with the Twin's. What speakers are you trying out now? I made jumpers out of the same wire (Kimber) as Mikec suggests and it really opened up the HF's when compared to the flat bars that were supplied with my Castle speakers and was a good sound. It didn't cost anything other than the aggravation of stripping the Kimber and is a good place to start. I never got around to buying or making silver jumpers which are said to be nice as well. Somebody sells these (silver ones) premade for around $50-$60, think it's either Silver Audio or Pure Silver Sound.
Pete: I was not aware that Maplshade offered jumpers. They might be right up your alley (and the price is right) as not to many people have posted in regard to their products (kind of unchartered territory). I am using their Double Helix digital cable on my DAC and enjoy the detail and musicality that it provides. I an also playing around with their inexpensive cones on just about anything that I can place them under and still keep a straight face.
Mapleshade's website is at mapleshaderecords.com, though last I looked the jumpers were not listed. They also do special recordings that have mixed reviews. The gear however receives good feedback from those that have used it.
Drums: It will probably arrive in the mail shortly then. I have an extra pair of Castle speakers (that my wife wants me to sell) that I could try them on:-)
