Dan, did you strip the insulation? From the picture it almost looks like they are still encapsulated.

Great write up Dan. Tweaking is in my future.

Serge.......Yes, the insulation was remove. Once I cut the proper lengths it was just a matter of pushing the conductor at one end, and pulling it from the other. The insulation came right off.

BuffaloBill.......Silver oxidation will be removed from time to time with silver polishing compound, or a jewelers cloth. It should not be a problem.
One of the nice benefites with a tweak like this is it's 100% reversible without a problem. I plan to keep my Kimber copper jumpers, and the factory brass jumpers. Should I ever want to tweak the speakers in another direction I will be able to do so.

One thing to watch for is the that highs don't get irritating long term. Many speaker manufacturers voice their speakers with the brass or whatever else jumpers they use. Changing them tilts the balance sometimes.

Lyle.......I never would have started down the jumper tweak path without your comments to me about your new cables, and how Cardas had supplied you with jumpers to replace the factory jumper pins on your EB1i's. That piqued my interest. If this had gone wrong, I could have pinned it all on you.

Serge.......I agree with you. Speakers are voiced, and responses measured, so your comment may prove correct. Ian from PMC made the same comment to me in another thread on the copper jumpers. None the less, this is great fun, relatively inexpensive, and reversable. Revoicing a speaker doesn't necessarily have to take place at the jumpers (where available), but can take place with the speaker cables, and/or interconnects, any of which can, and do tilt the end results. Sometimes those results are positive, and bear it out over long term listening, and sometimes the results can be aggressive in a manner that is unbecoming. In all circumstances it is easily addressed with cable, interconnect, or jumper changes, creating a new tilt in another direction. That's the joy of tweaking.
