Not every day does a product come along that is both cheap and wonderfully effective, especially in the audio world. Audioquest's preamp jumpers are a fantastic upgrade over the cheap, metal pin jumpers that come with most audio/video receivers. Let's be honest, the name of the game here is not improving a signal, cables can't do that. Good cables function merely as damage control, minimizing distortion and loss of the source. The stock metal jumpers that come with receivers are poorly constructed. They offer inferior conductivity, increased resistivity, and permits signal noise (they aren't shielded). Audioquest has ported over technology from some of their best cables lines for these cheap little jumpers and the result is a noticeable improvement in audio resolution and and cleanliness. Audioquest uses their high quality Perfect Surface Copper+ cable inside nice dielectric shielding to provide minimal signal loss. This is their highest quality copper, the same seen in their top cable at $1000 a foot (the expensive cable just uses more)! Their gold-placed connectors solidly grip the preamp RCA inputs and make a very nice connection. You wouldn't think such a small expanse of cable would make a difference, but that's just how truly bad the factory jumpers are.

Bottom line: Audiophiles are content to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars chasing down minuscule improvements in their systems. For $30, you simply won't find ANYTHING that gives your system the sonic improvement these will. For those that care about sound, its not just a good purchase, its a no-brainer.
