Why is this? I would have thought the links are better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: The metal plates that speaker manufacturers supply with speakers are far from ideal connectors.\u00a0 The plates are not of ideal material nor are they even the proper shape.\u00a0 They are supplied to allow the speakers to work if the customer doesn\u2019t bi-amp or bi-wire them. Jumpers, on the other hand, are small runs of proper signal carrying cables, just like the cables from your amplifier to your speakers. That consistency yields better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"986\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Power-Cord-upgrade-questions-and-answers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Power-Cord-upgrade-questions-and-answers.jpg 986w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Power-Cord-upgrade-questions-and-answers-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Power-Cord-upgrade-questions-and-answers-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Power-Cord-upgrade-questions-and-answers-500x264.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: Right now, I am currently running Red Dawn Speaker Cables and would like to slowly upgrade all of my cables to Nordost. Ideally, I would like to stick to the same series of power cords (i.e. Red Dawn) for the entire system. However, due to budget constraints, does it make sense to prioritize based on component\u2026for example, Red Dawn for my pre-amp, and Blue Heaven Power Cords for the rest of the system?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A: We completely understand why it might be hard to stick with your \u201cideal\u201d cable throughout the system, so prioritizing does make sense. One of the reasons why we design our cables the way we do is so that they can easily be upgraded and mixed throughout your system without any drawbacks. In terms of prioritization, we recommend that the BEST power cord in your system be placed from your wall to your distribution bar. Once you have that covered, then you are correct in saying that your pre-amp (or integrated) should be next in line. After that, you want your amplifier(s) covered. Following that, it\u2019s a question of \u201cwhat is used most\u201d. For example, if you mostly listen to CDs, use your better power cord on your transport, however if you use your server more, then prioritize your DAC, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"986\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QKORE-wires-questions-and-answers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QKORE-wires-questions-and-answers.jpg 986w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QKORE-wires-questions-and-answers-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QKORE-wires-questions-and-answers-768x405.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/QKORE-wires-questions-and-answers-500x264.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Q: Is there any benefit in connecting a component through multiple QKORE Wires to a QKORE?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A:\u00a0No, once a component is connected to a QKORE with one cable, connecting additional cables\u00a0will not enhance it further.\u00a0Just one cable does the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our product specialists receive questions on a daily basis about Nordost products, their application, and hifi in general. \u00a0We thought that we would take a minute to share some of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/questions-and-answers-october-2021\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Questions and Answers (October 2021)&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-helpful-hints","category-nordost-tech-talk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
