Anyone using "jumper" cables?


I am curious just how jumper cables can improve the sound, are they the alternative bi-wires? I'm new to this, so educate me please.

Use jumpers made with the same material as your main cables and enjoy the music.
Thanks for the clear explaination, I'm thinking of jumper cable for the same reason, at the moment my spendors are powered by the Plinius 8200mk2 intergrated. i've seen this guy(whom i bought my plinius from) biwire from Plinius to his speakers, it had quite a full sound but it didn't "wow" me though.
I've been trying to read up about jumper cables, there are people who can hear improvement, and some said jumper cables strengthen certain area and compromise the other. i don't know I'll probably check up if any seller does home trial, hence i get to experiment.
thanks
Hi Karmatogral -
I have Spendor S6e's and changed out the copper jumper platethat comes with the speaker, with a soundstring jumper cable...it made a huge difference.
Treble was much more detailed and seemed to even out the tonal balance of the entire presentation.
The speakers I use are the Spendor SP -1/2Es. I also use the Mapleshade jumpers, which work well and are cheap. I would not confine myself to the same brand or material necessarily , the jumpers have a different job to do than the main cables.
Stanwal,Can you explain what the different job is that the jumpers do? I am at a loss over that statement. Don't the jumpers continue the signal path to both x-overs in the speaker? Am I missing something here?
