Pigtails for Too-Short Speaker Cables?
I recently moved my speakers to a new location and one of my WireWorld Silver Eclipse speaker cables is now about 2' too short. I would like to avoid the expensive solution of buying new longer WW speaker cables of the same quality. Maybe I should buy some WW jumpers/pigtails to extend the cables to solve the problem or would just adding 2' standard wire pigtails have a significant effect on the sound of my system?

Also, your speaker cables should be of equal length. What ever you decide to do, I am happy to help. |
A while ago, I got the Nordost biwire links to do just that.
I got them in BFA to BFA.. the end of the my BFA speaker terminals slide inside the BFA of the Nordost biwire links. Then I added a heat shrink around them. Improved the sound too |
Ivan, I'm ok with my cables for now. I got my WW Silver Eclipse to work, but one cable hangs off the floor some. I can move my small stand-mounted speakers out of the way when not in use. The WW cable just sounds so much better, a lot more natural sounding, like they are on a completely different level, then my longer 10' Goertz MI-2 copper cables!

doggiehowser, thanks for sharing your experience with extending your cables. I will keep the short extensions idea in mind. If I can get the same gauge WW Silver Eclipse cable it could work.

Ivan, my WireWorld Silver Eclipse cables are terminated in spades. What would be your suggestion on terminating 2' extensions?

I recall WireWorld sells you replacement BFAs that screw in the speaker terminals. Just unscrew the spades. |
