Fear not!
Here's a little Jugadr I've been using for the last couple of months which a lot of you may or may not be familiar with.
Banana jack, spade users & bi-ampers beware! This may be too low class a solution!
How it's done:
1. Measure how much exposed wire you need / how much casing you need to leave.
2. Cut it away without cutting yourself up!
3. Insert into binding posts!
Pros:
- Eliminates any risk of oscillation within receiver/amplifier's zone A+B binding posts and eliminates risk of damaging speaker drivers.
- Save cost on extra wire to let you get better quality wire.
- No loss of conductivity between binding posts
- Better conductivity than jumpers when using bare wire (It's the wire itself, what more could you want?)
- Looks neat as compared against messy passive bi wiring.
Cons:
- Risk of cutting yourself up! Unless of course your partner likes a scar or two. :licklips:
- Takes a little precision to not tear strands while cutting away casing towards the inside.
- Time consuming
- Exposed wire haters calling you a cheapass for having exposed wire that will oxidize over time (Solution - cut away that section once a year and make a new connection..just have enough loose wire to spare those few inches every year. Chances are by the 4th year you'll have new wires entirely.)
LET THE OPINIONS BEGIN!
