I was thinking whether cutting up pieces of QED or Chord cable to make jumpers (HF to LF) to replace the links that came with the my speakers will it improve sound. Has anyone has tried this please share your experience.
Replacing links with Cable Jumpers

Why not biwire? I always prefer biwire over metal links.
I have read so much in this forum and also in other forums that there will be no SQ improvement by doing Bi-wiring. Here is an interesting link opposing bi-wire Bi-wiring - Why bi-wiring has no benefits.
I have read one mail shared by a member of AVSforum where Chord company prefers standard wiring over bi-wiring.

You guys need to think out of the box more 
It will 100% be a more pure signal to directly feed the binding posts through biwire method, from the AVR, vs an alien metal or cable jumper which further influences the sound.
Jumpers are known to reduce SQ.
Why risk the reduction when you can provide 100% by direct feed?
Get my drift?

hahahahahah sure is sure!
CorElement you have just shifted the topic to bi- wiring.
I have found my answer on Chord company help section.http://www.chord.co.uk/help.php?pg=5
Replacing speaker links: If you are using single wire speaker cable with bi-wireable speakers, one of the simplest and surprisingly effective upgrades you can make is to replace the flat, gold-plated links that most speaker manufacturers supply to join the input terminals on the back of their speakers together. There are two ways of doing this. Either replace the links with short runs of the speaker cable you are using; simply cut the speaker cable to length, strip the ends so that it will fit in the holes in the binding posts. The other way to do this is to use a set of Chord's purpose made Signature Links. Either method can bring some pretty serious improvements to the treble performance as well as improving coherence.

Now thats a crock full of shit. I dont think you will be able to see a difference with a high resolution oscilloscope, forget about being able to hear it.:lol: Chord is cheating you into buying more of their products, thats it.

Who knows more about the best i/p to get the best sound out of the speakers, speaker manufacturer or the cable manufacturer? Unless the speaker manufacturer supports and recommends a bi-wiring setup (esp. passive biwiring) or changing the plate connectors to jumpers, you will hear no difference at all, dont waste your time and money on that. Some speakers like Quad, B&W etc recommends this, but finding a difference again depends on the rest of the chain and a matter of debate, some people can and some cannot.... thats audio industry...

uhh so is that good or bad?
Today I have placed an order for Chord Rumor 2. I will replace plate connectors with a little piece of Rumor 2 and will let u know whether there is any difference in sound quality.

I doubt the information published in this link. Because the Chord company is telling about the cable burn-in also (that too in a couple of months:lol: ) here.
Cable burn-in is a joke as many people say.
Call them up and see if they will refund your money as you dont hear a difference in sound quality as per their claims:lol:
No he needs to wait for few months of burn-in by playing
. After that he will forget what he bought and why 
PS: No offense meant, I am not intending make fun of you but why you believe such things? After all it's your choice. :sad:

And if he remembers, they will say, whaaat sir, how can we take back a product after you have used it for a few months and burned it in:lol:
hey i experienced significant improvement when i did as chord suggested (pls read the post 'taming harshness' i just posted). btw did you also as chord suggests connect the positive (red) to the higher frequency post and the negative (black) to the lower frequency post?
