Speaker Jumpers


Is anyone here experienced with a speaker jumper cables, in particularly Furutech JumperFlux-Spades? I've been told that they are an exceptional cable but need 200 to 300 hrs to break in? 🤔 200 hrs is probably when your ears don't remember how your system sounded previously lol. I've had them for 50 hrs now and with all due respect to Furutech, they sound terrible.  The cheap $0.25 factory metal strips that came with my Klipsch LaScala AL5 speakers sound 100x better than these $560 CDN jumpers. I'm glad I didn't buy the $23,000 CDN jumpers by Ansuz!

So should I stick to the 200 hrs or accept my loss and move on?

You’re moving the signal 2 - 4 inches?  Welcome to the world of audiophile marketing.  IMHO, you have answered your own question.  Let the cable wars begin, again.  😆

@bigtwin I am a believer in power cords and cables though.I recently discovered that an Audience FrontRow USB didn't gel with my system, but my older generation Ansuz X2 USB sounded 100x better.  And now I'm witnessing how my speakers sound 100x better with the factory  thin metal strip vs Furutech jumpers, yes Furutech! I'm about to venture into XLR'S now but luckily I found a local company who offers a free 30 day trial.  

What brand is the speaker cable and why are you not using that as your jumper?
