Jena cables


Has anyone tried them out recently? They are highly touted. Compared against Nordost and Synergistic?

Jfz....I never said that I have owned the Jena Labs cables, but since I started to sell the HMS cables, I am meeting quite a few people outside of the AA and Audiogon forums.
I live in Key Largo, which is one of the holiday spots in the US, so people come from all over the world to fish and dive. Also, Miami, which is one of the great metropolitan areas of this world, is close by, so quite a few people have asked me, if they could come and visit me in my home, to see if it is only hype what I say about the HMS cables, or if I am for real and the HMS cables are really this great performers for such a low price.
And quite a few guys bring their personal cables along, for a little private shoot-out and I haven't changed the set up in my system for quite a while now. So the conditions have been the same for all cables.
Is anybody here willing to also compare the HMS versus any of the Jena Labs cables? You can email me, if you want to discuss the details of such a shoout-out.
Tekunda - I didn't mean to say you had owned the Jena Labs cables (and, actually, I didn't think I had). I was just responding to your statement that "in my opinion, the Jena Symphony wire doesn't hold a candle to the Valhalla". Again, I don't mean to give you a hard time. It's just that I think, as audiophiles trying to help others who've asked questions, we have some responsibility to say clearly where our opinions come from. If, for example, the opinion you stated was based on John Doe visiting you and comparing his brand X to the Valhalla (with the Valhalla coming out on top), along with John Doe telling you he preferred his brand X to the Jena Labs Symphony, I have no problem with that. I just think it's helpful for others to know what our opinions are based on. By the way, I'm not saying this is an accurate scenario in your case. If you've directly compared the Valhalla and Jena Symphony I think a few details about that comparison would be very helpful also.
Tireguy: Mikelavigne has not compared any of the Jena Labs cables to the Valhallas. He compared the Jena Labs Symphony with the $30,000 Transparent Opus and we all thought the Opus was a bit better at a few things, but the much less expensive Symphony did great against the much more expensive cable.

One of these days I will bring a full set for him to hear, but hs system sounds so great right now, why even bother. Even if he can improve, it is already the most enjoyable system I have ever heard.`
Tekunda- I don't mind dealers pitching their wares, happens frequently, and I'd like to think I'm cogent enough to separate fact from fiction. But your " I live in a hotspot and people drop by so my cable is great etc" sounds, well, lame. Specify what you heard in a direst A/B comparison, merits etc. Otherwise you're merely espousing conjecture, which helps no one at all, and frankly looks rather ridiculous.HMS may be the cat's meow, but the slider you threw missed the plate, at least for me.
