Without question if you have Good equipment the cheap Zinc jumpers for sure will mask the perfermanceat least a few % points .i have replaced enough crossovers ,connectors and wires to know .think about this .the internal wire
on a 802 B&W speaker is of good quality a similar thing applies to audio fuses.
just look up metal resistance index the Top is Silver,Copper a very close 2nd.
these nickel zinc jumpers are around a 10 on the resistance index. The higher the number the less resistance.Copper wire a 65
meaning Zinc has 6x the resistance a Horrible conductor and like a steel fuse a Huge bottleneck. If you system is very resolving ,run them both in 50 hours
then critically listen to 10 songs on each give at least 1/2 hr after exchanging
jumpers. The facts speak for themselves. The resistance speaks volumes,
as well as like wire used.
the companies figure you will use either by wire, or your own jumper.
recently Silnote made me 2 or of Excellent jumpers for $200
that easily gave much better detail especially upper midrange on up
on my Sonus Faber Olympica-3 Loudspeakers.
The stock straps work ,but give the custom Wire jumpers made of the same speaker wire and resistance,capacitance,inductance are very similar.
One more thing if you want your system to sound its best
Stabilant-22 with 4-1 alcohol which evaporates quickly. ,or 22 in uncut version is by far the best contact enhancer that last
for years not months ,just look it up ,all the most critical applications use this
including NASA. First clean all contacts with 99% Isopropyl alcohol.
order on amazon with applicators power cords are the worst once treated
protected give 24 hours to hear max performance. Do every contact area
on power cord blades even ground. Any contact area on equipment ,tube pins
fuse contacts.Everything counts !!
