Quote from: LightFire on 3 Nov 2006, 02:57 amObviously you are not disproving anything. The "current split" is negligible (things moving at speed of light, remember?) And when I say negligible it means way beyond the capability of measurement instruments detection, let alone the human hearing.So then what's your explanation as to why I'm hearing differences? Placebo? I really wish you could come over to hear this, because the difference is not small...I've done other tweaks where I have to really listen hard to hear the changes and wonder whether or not I'm really hearing them. But not this one...this one, the difference is pretty startling. In one of my systems, I'm actually finding it not to my liking...

What about bad electrical contact? Contacts were a bit loosen/oxidized. When you switched the newly tied up screws brushed a little bit of oxidation away. I don't see any other logical explanation.
Has anyone tried this variation, where you tie the negative posts together with a jumper in a traditional biwire (two pr cables both connected to the amp) setup?I haven't tried this in ages, but hey it's free and some claim a difference.
On a whim after talking with a couple of audiophile friends, I tried changing my jumper setup on my speakers. Originally, I ran my speaker cables to the low-frequency terminals on my speakers, then jumped from the low terminals to the high terminals. I just changed it so that the speaker cables run to the high terminals, then jump down to the low terminals. Whoa...! I wasn't expecting to hear much difference, but the results are stunning quite frankly. Soundstage has opened up, detail has increased by more than I thought possible...I am 99% sure I am not imagining the differences. Anyone else have an ability to try this? I've done it to two of my systems, and in both cases the changes were not small...
