Integrated Amp Jumpers

A while back I replaced the metal jumpers between the pre-amp and amp section of my int-amp with Audioquest jumpers, which are about 3 inches in length. I use Audioquest King Cobras and Diamondbacks for interconnects throughout the rest of my system. I was wondering if anyone knew if using a short length pair of Audioquest King Cobras or Diamondbacks would be an improvement over the Audioquest interconnects sold specifically as jumpers. Without special order I believe the shortest length available for the King Cobras or Diamondbacks is .5m. Any opinions are appreciated.

I have tried two brands of jumpers.

Audioquest (black color) and Tara Labs "rectangular solid core"

... I could hear the downgrade.

I would leave the stock jumpers there, if it were me,OR put in good normal cables.

I now own two sets of these things and feel some shame in wanting to sell them,they should be burned.

just my 2 cents.

I have found the best way to get better sound is better amps,speakers.

BTW, I have also found the thicker Radio shack RCA's that I've gotten from Goodwill are great cables! no kidding....
and $1.99

"I will more than likely get a .5m Diamondback to use as a jumper."
