JADE AUDIO Cables

Hi

I ordered a pair of Jade Audio cables (Vermeil version, not the Golden one) from Audiogon member Jadem6, who offers a one month return guarantee.

I was wondering wether other Audiogon members already tried and/or bought these new DIY cables.

I read the review made by JD himself, but ofcourse I'm curious to hear the comment of buyers/users.

Thanks

if neutrality is your goal, try chimera labs copper cable.

Mr. Tennis, I see you pushing Chimera Labs on several threads now. Could you please elaborate on your experience with Jade cables? I await your response.

The 'Vermeil' arrived this morning. Plugged it between my DAC and preamp to replace Symphonic Line Reference ic. Will report on my findigs later on.

First impressions 'right out of te box' are very nice: bigger soundstage, more natural and detail but bit 'sharper' than the SL. Will have it burned in for a time and will come back.

I just ordered a Vermeil from JD and he is going to cook it for 10 days prior to shipping it to me. Hopefully that will alleviate some of the burn in time. I'll post my impressions as well when I have had a chance to listen to it.

Plugged the Vermeil now between preamp and poweramp: this seems to be the better place in my system. 3-D imaging impresses me most, together with better (more) lower end emphasis. Sound is very well balanced. The Vermeil has to be burned in further, but I can tell you this cable won't leave my system (I know: never say never)! Was wondering how the 'real' Gold would perform... and am anxious to hear about the experience of other users !
