Bi-wiring success story

Posted by The Rube (A) on April 17, 2007 at 19:43:18

Hi Inmates!

Thought I would share the results of my biwiring experiment. I have always been a skeptic about biwiring, but then, too, I have always been an agnostic or an atheist when it comes to cables in general.

However, I heard such a profound improvement in bass response when I tried some Purist Audio cables, I could no longer argue the fact that cables can make a difference. I recently tried some Mapleshade speaker cables, which offered improved detail but fell short of the Purist bottom end.

I'm a have your cake and eat it, too type of guy, so I wired the Purists to the woofers and the Mapleshades to the mids and highs. Not only did I get the best attribute of each cable where it was needed, but the speakers opened up—in fact, that was the most noticeable change. The decay of cymbals was the first thing I noticed. The detail was more focused.

I was not expecting that particular improvement, so it is not a matter of wishful thinking—or hearing. It was an improvement over solid core copper jumpers, and really opened my eyes to what really cheap brass jumpers must be doing to speakers.

I won't use the words dramatic or spectacular to describe the change in my speakers, but it is significant.

Anybody else have similar positive results?
