Anyone been in contact with Jade Audio recently?

Hey John,

I've got the Vermeil with Eichmann Copper Bullets and Bybee filters, and they simply sound incredible in my system... I don't have too much experience with high end interconnects, though I did pick up a pair of Gabriel Gold Revelations and the Vermeils blew them away (in my system, with my ears, and my music of course!) I am running an all digital system, so the added richness of the Hybrid sounds appealing, but since I also eventually need to get a matching one for a center channel, going that route is likely too expensive for me. I guess I'd also like to try a pair of Synergistic Tesla Accelerators, but again, anything beyond that is also getting a bit out of my price range. I do think that JD mentioned that the Vermeils can be made to sound a little richer with the Furutech gold plugs, which is why I was considering sending them back for an upgrade!

I just sent JD an email to order his Vermeil Digital. Will keep this forum informed.

tomer just wondered if you let the Gabriel Golds break-in before your assestment?They do take a while to do so

Tomer - Your experience with the GGs vs. Jade cables mirror the cable shootout that I did last year. Even after 150+ hours on the GG Revs, it was as flat and lifeless compared to the Jade as it was with zero hours.

Unfortunately the GG's take 300-400 hours to break-in as do the Nordost Valhalla.You may have been just a little to quick to judge or the cable may just have not mated in your system.Bottom line we like what we like.
