Being friends with Josh, I have been to his shop many times. He probably has 30 or more cable brands there. It is a dream for anyone wanting to compare cables of every kind. I own Downsize cables because I've heard them best $20+ speaker cables. I replaced my source's $3500 power cable with his $400 power cables. Now I have 7 of those power cables. They simply sound good. The science is above me. But my ears don't lie to me.
Josh has a policy where he simply won't tell anyone what to expect to hear with his cables. He doesn't want to plant any pre notions to lead to placebo expectations.
Also he wants to see of the feedback he gets has consistencies. He values finding out if others are hearing what he does. You notice he does not advertise or visit forums. He really enjoys helping people get better sound, but only when approached about it. He isn't egotistical, and doesn't want or need to prove anything. Ive seen him send a pair of interconnects to someone desperate to argue with him. He went silent and sent them out unpaid. He preferred it to the stress. He's disabled and spends most of his time obsessing about what improves sq. And ways to make it happen. He's doing it for him. But will share with people.
I think this leads to better sounding products. He designed them via experimenting.
I just think it's interesting any individual can compete with and beat companies with R&D depts and deep pockets.
Those of you handy should try and build similar foil cables to his and try them. The only difference at all is the conductor purity and special teflon tapes for conductor insulation.
