to me, may difference from stock jumper wire to audience wire!

there's no harm on trying, this will only cost you php150 for your center and front speakers at 4" cut.!

to spectraav,

i bought a 9.cs last july 25, 2005 OR# 0660... and sa pagmamadali ko (malapit na ata din kayo mag close noon)... di ko napansin na yung jumpers nung binding posts e puro gasgas na. mukhang gamit na gamit na. im just wondering... baka naman pwede nyo itong palitan? hoping for your consideration.

thanks!

doorknob2k1,

Kelan mo ito napansin? From my experience, nangingitim talaga sila.

same here. nagkaroon ng stain yung stock jumpers at nangingitim din. i just clean them with a metal polish and balik na sa dati. wag mo lang punasan ng punasan at baka mag-fade yung gold plating. i don't use the jumpers kasi naka bi-wire ako.

i am currently using a qed silver anniversary speaker cable:

the result: a must hear.

paired it with the qunex 1:

and qunex 2 interconnects:

and the results were simply amazing, and take note i am still in the break-in period.

Hans,
I'm now using a puresonic hook-up wire (speaker wire) #14, ang audience hook-up ba ay may audible difference? Is the difference worth buying as compared to my puresonic? I cannot audition your mentioned hookup wire, I'm at the province, medyo matagal pa para makapunta ako dyan. My setup is diamond 9cs, 9.5, 9dfs and Yamaha RXV-1500.

Bro layo mo pala hehehe try mo silver wire as jumper like Belden in case meron dyan sa inyo. what i notice with copper and silver as jumpers is if you like airy highs and mids use silver now kung bass naman type mo use copper also learn copper gives music a little clearer than silver pero maybe due to the air.. have tried audience and agree din ako sa sabi ni s2kov clearer sya.

Guys not saying effective ito pero nothing wrong in trying.

kt · « **Reply #1571 on:** Oct 10, 2005 at 04:43 PM »

so guys wat i did kasi is i used my current wire (QED 79) its 14ga...n cut off abt 5" each for the terminals. oks na ba ito compared sa audience that u were mentioning?

oweidah · « **Reply #1577 on:** Oct 10, 2005 at 09:41 PM »

hi kt..musta na?...sir hookup wires diy lang - cut any speaker cable 5-6"long. barewire or terminate with banana plugs. ive tried monster cable (tames the highs of bright tweeters) w/ b&w. Also qed silver/bronze anniversary and chord carnival classic cable strips as jumpers with wharfdale D9.1. (xperiment lang tho i prefer bi-wire from amp.) just my mameras

whoa! dami na palang posts since i last checked this morning.

been busy all day... got me the sw-150 this afternoon.

been toying with it since i got home. tigil na muna... matutulog na mga tao dito e.

talked to jose (spectra) na din about the jumpers... told me to bring it (jumpers) there... and then titignan kung ano pwede gawin.

noticed it immediately the day i bought it when i got home na. nabaon na lang sa limot. naalala ko lang recently nung mejo madalas na akong magbasa ng mga posts dito. and it's not just that it's nangingitim... gasgas as in traces ng paggamit ng wires... and yung direction ng gasgas is pabilog din like when you turn the binding posts to tighten. gulo ata

... i hope you get the picture.

makes me think tuloy pano nagkaroon ng gasgas yun kung banana plugs gamit nila jose when testing the speakers? baka naman pinalitan ng luma yung jumpers nung nabili kong 9.cs?

hmmm...

wanna post pix sana pero wala nako phone with cam... sold it to get the 9.cs

sa susunod isasanla ko na tong bahay namin para makabili ng plasma screen!

Thanks hans. Meron naman akong paglalaroan. Guys, if you have time, come to Bacolod City for the Masskara Festival, highlight this saturday and sunday. Bring your ear plugs, masyadong malakas mga sounds nila. Audiophiles... beware, baka mawala sa pandinig nyo ang high frequencies. . . He he he.

What a small world, I also graduated at UNO-R. Maybe our path will cross someday. Pag may travel ako sa Manila, I'll make it my mission to visit the various stores you've all mentioned.

bros, i have a diamond 8.4 for my fronts and planning to add a diamond 9 center, what do you suggest, get a used diamond 8 center for timbre matching or just get a new diamond 9 center?

TIA

alistair · « **Reply #1588 on:** Oct 14, 2005 at 10:11 AM »

I'd go with the Diamond 8 center to ensure timbre matching. They didn't become any worse than before just because the 9's came out. They should even be cheaper and of better value (assuming brand new). You can get away with not-so-matched surround and rear speakers, but matching fronts and centers are critical.

backdraft · « **Reply #1589 on:** Oct 15, 2005 at 08:35 AM »

malaki ba difference ng d8 center sa d9 center. i'm more inclined to get the d9 center para mas bago na and iwas upgrade na ng center for the mean time.

other gurus, which do you prefer if you're gonna pair it with diamond 8.4?

thanks
