Am I Nuts or What?


This goes against everything I thought to be true, but I compared sound quality of my Acoustic Energy ae2s with the stock wire jumper vs a pair of high quality Transparent and Apex jumpers and found the ol stock wire connector to be superior when using my non bi wired Yamamura m4000 or S/W Maestro speaker cables. This just seems to go against the grain of what should be a better setup, considering the cost of the Tranparent and Apex jumpers.

Yes, you are nuts. Not because you hear what you hear, but because you are listening to 2" pieces of wire in a vain attempt to get some musical "value". We all have the same disease; if you could listen to money we'd all just break out the $100 bills and have a party.
Dekay has nailed it. Audiophilia Nervosa is a zero-sum game. The obsession will always seek the path of least resistance, striking often at the foundations of common sense.
