JADE AUDIO Cables

john,

if you'd sell an Hybrid, let me know :-)

it seems this one is the way to go

I can't find any price tags on the Hybrid ...

Jafox,

I have been wanting to try the Gabriel cables for a while and the Revelation are on my list as well, but I thought I may as well try the Extremes to get started. BTW - there were 4 pair available and I'm only getting 1 pair, maybe Steve will contact you regarding the others.

Ironically I have tried the Jade Vermeil and am probably one of the very few to send them back. I agree with both yours and Tbgs assessment of these cables, but in my system at the time, while I thought the Vermeil's were excellent and for the money a great value, they did not beat out my Oritek X-2 cables. My goal was to try the Jade Gold, but so far I have not gotten around to it and based on yours and Tbgs experiences with the Hybrids this may be the cable to try in the future.

My system has changed a bit since my last IC evaluation and in hindsight I wish I still had the Vermeil to listen to for comparative purposes. The Oritek have been replaced by the RSAD Poemia!!! and I have some VD Master cables in the system as well. I would definitely be interested in your opinions on the M-5000 and Dream power cords. So feel free to email me offline.

I have 2 pair of Jade Hybrids that are suppose to ship on Monday, so I wait for their arrival. They will go into my Greatroom system in place of my Silversmith silver RCA interconnects.

I received my Hybrids today.
Here's my take on the Hybrids straight out of the box, no break-in time.
They sound better than my Silversmith Silver interconnects. A bit more authoritative bass, (the Silversmith are very good with bass), mids and highs sound as good as the Silversmith. I do hear cleaner, more detailed music that I've not heard before. It's clean sounding and not smeared. I'll have to see if they improve with break-in.
I'm happy with the Silversmith, but I do believe these are a keeper. You know how the rule of diminishing returns goes!

Just checking in here since I'm interested in the Hybrids too.. Any updated opinions from Hybrid owners, Jafox, Lak, others? :)
