Jumpers for Spendors

Pinging any Spendor owners:
Has anyone replaced the brass jumper that comes stock on Spendors (I have Spendor 9's) with a cable jumper? I'm using Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables and interconnects throughout my system and I'm happy with their performance. I'm thinking of getting the Analysis Plus jumper as well, but if no sonic difference is heard, perhaps throwing $150 into the street would yield better results. bwaahaaaahaaa
Experiences?

Mucho Thanks

I would definitely recommend replacing those stock jumpers. I had fatwyre.com make a pair of jumpers for my Spendor 1/2Es and my results were very good (and not too expensive). I am using Tara Labs Space & Time Phase II speaker cables, which are rather modest in price, and I had Fatwyre make jumpers out of the same cable.

The new jumpers made a major improvement in upper frequency reproduction. I should mention that it took many hours for the jumpers to settle - so don't expect great result right out of the gate. IMHO, spending $150 on jumpers to match your speaker cables will be money well spent.

Thomasjrt - It does not matter, and you can certainly try them both ways to determine whether you can hear a difference. I tried mine both ways and could not distinguish an audible change, so I connect my speaker cables to the bottom posts and jump to the top ones, as this is more practical.
