Here we have a full set (2 gently handled pair) of Galileo LE jumpers from the wizards at Synergistic Research. Confession: ALL of my interconnects are Galileo LE, which until recently was the top-of-the-line made by Synergistic!

How good is Galileo LE? Well, Jonathan Valin wrote that "in my current system, Galileo LE is as good as any cable I've heard at any price -- which is to say it is among the most gorgeous-sounding and lifelike on the market...." There you have it, folks! Galileo LE cables feature multiple Actively Shielded geometries with pure silver and tungsten conductors, air dialectics, and Active precious metal EM Cells encased in carbon fiber for resonance control.

These jumpers are just over 19" long from the lug of one spade to the lug of the other, and they're flexible enough to fit very easily if your speaker terminals are closer together than 19" (mine are about 12" apart).

These jumpers also have the ability to accept Synergistic "tuning bullets," originally developed for other Synergistic cables that have active AC powered shielding. I have not used them myself, so I can't comment on their impact, but I will include a set of four (4) "tuning bullets" when I ship these to the buyer.

So ... why jumpers? Why not just bi-wire your speakers? As one reviewer recently explained, many biwire speaker cables are “shotgun” types: they split the signal via two conductor geometries that are joined together again at the amplifier end. At the speaker end, each geometry is connected to a dedicated driver, where they are reconnected by a short jumper cable. Ted Denney (the founder and lead designer at Synergistic) dislikes shotgun biwiring. He says that because a tweeter with a high-pass filter has an impedance response different from that of a woofer with a low-pass filter, splitting the signal creates phase distortion. With jumpers, the signal runs from the amp via one cable and is split at the speaker end, where it is reconnected by the jumper.

OK, so why high-end jumpers? Why not just use the ones supplied by the speaker manufacturer? Well, I can't speak for every speaker brand, but the jumpers that came with my speakers were . . . er . . .hefty lamp cord. I listened to 'em for a while, and then I decided I could do better. Much better. After all, why should your tweeter get better sound quality than your woofer?

So I set out to find really good jumpers without breaking the bank. And when I found the Synergistic Galileo LE, the difference in sound quality was immediately obvious. My woofers came to life, the mid bass began to sound like mid bass should. YES!!

Well, it's been over a year now, and I've recently upgraded the speaker cabling from top to bottom, including the jumpers, so the Galileo LE now need a new home. My loss is your gain!
