Jena cables

The opinions about the Jena Labs Valkyre, really besting the Valhalla cables, are divided, but at least pricewise they come very close.
When I set out on my cable quest, even $3000 for a pair of interconnects was kind of expensive and I was searching for this special brand of cables, delivering what I called "Valhalla" performance for around $1000.
As far as I know there is only one brand in existence , wich can claim to deliver this gigantic price-performance ratio.
If people on the other hand rather buy emotions, they have a whole selection of even more expensive cables to choose from, like Siltech G5, Silversmith Palladium, Kharma etc.
But I am much more concerned about performance.

To clarify: I was thinking of the medium to top of the line Jena labs cables versus other top of the line cables such as Nordost and Synergistic.

I did a direct and extensive comparison of the Valhalla and the Jena Labs Symphony interconnects a few months ago. I found the Symphony to be the equal of the Valhalla in every way; and better in a few ways, e.g. more natural body on acoustic instruments and vocals, better high and low-end extension, slightly fuller bass - without bloat - and, significantly, a much quieter background. I lost no information with the Symphony vis a vis the Valhalla, and I am convinced the Symphony is equally transparent (and less colored). I bought the Symphony cables, but not because of the price. My system consists of G&D Ultimate transport, latest Dodson DAC, CTC Blowtorch preamp, Jeff Rowland Model 10 amplifier, and Rockport Antares loudspeakers. I am presently using Silversmith speaker cables and use David Elrod power cords on everything. Hope this helps a little bit.

Many thanks. Quite illuminating. What are the Silversmith cables?

Tekunda - I'm curious as to whether you have compared the Jena Symphony interconnects directly to the Valhalla ICs, meaning in the same system, under the same conditions, etc. I mean no offense at all. It's just that the last I knew you had not heard the Jena cables.
