Well. Tried it...with 12 gauge stranded OFC with bare ends. Unscientifically. No double-blind instantaneous switching.
1.B&W 602s3. In a sub-optimal setting with mediocre gear. I could discern zero difference, positive or negative.
2.Canton VR5 DC. Eh. Maybe a tiny difference in clarity in mids. Well within the margin of error in and between my ears and likely within any difference that could be attributed to changes in lunar or solar tidal forces on the ears in the time between listening or to a degree or two temperature change or an extra couple of minutes of warm-up on an already warmed up system or to placebo effect.
Just a quick switch and a fairly quick listen. Was skeptical, but certainly hopeful. No night and day difference for me. Couldn't say it hurt or degraded anything, though.
Probably just my crap system and cloth ears.... Glad for others who find improvement with swapping out the jumper bars.
