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?

@mclinnguy correct, $24,000 for 6" long jumpers = $4000 per inch. Think about this,  you can do the entire wiring with plugs,  switches, basic lights, an electrical panel and an  EV charger for $25,000 for the average 2500 sf home!

$150,000 for those speaker cables! Did you notice they don't even specify the length of them? 

My cousin lives in a condo and doesn't have the luxury of having components and speakers like me,  but what he does have is a great headphone with an amplifier and he's extremely happy. No messing around with cables,  room treatment,  or money spent on endless tweaks and upgrades that amount to nothing other than frustration and disappointment. 

@tomcarr â€‹I remember seeing a video on YouTube What's in the box!?!?!?! - Klipsch LaScala AL5 Disassembly by Top Shelf Audio. So I watched it again and BOOM here  it is just like I was thinking. You can easily fasten the LF cables directly to the HF and MF cables internally at the terminals.  Therefore no need for jumpers or biwires. Just direct wires to wires internally fastened to the corresponding +ve and -ve terminal. I reached out to Klipsch.  Let's see what they say.​​​​​​

There are some who believe single wiring is a better way to go so, like many things in audio, there are folks on both sides.  It all goes back to the same place at the amplifier.  Most seem to like providing a lot of copper, whether bi-wiring or not, even though the math doesn't require it.  FWIW, Cardas Clear Reflection speaker cables are approximately 4 awg per pole.
