Maybe, since I spent $70.00 and waited two or three weeks for my Jena Labs jumpers to come in, I just wanted them to make my MA7000 sound better, so much, that I my imagination played tricks on me. . . and fooled me into thinking my system sounded better, and when I put the original jumpers back "just to see", my imagination took control again, and I just thought it didn't sound as good. . . . .
Kinda like switching wires, power cords, electrical outlets, putting small stones on your amps, and a bunch of other, so called "improvements", - your ears often hear what your mind wants them to hear, and the more you spend, the more your mind, and your imagination, wants to fool you.
I still think my MA7000 sounds better with the better jumpers - Boy am I fooled!
