Gold interconnect comparison help

Glory & Jmcgrogan2...

What was the final verdict in your cable swapping comparison between the Jade Hybrid & the GG Rapture?

Jmcgrogan - what amp & preamp are you using with your Verity PO's
Also, where you balanced or single ended?

John - Thanks for your input. I just placed an order with JD for two of his Hybrid IC's with RCA's. Should be a huge upgrade over my Nordost Blue Heaven and another no name cable. I anxiously await their arrival!

Okay... the Jade Hybrids have been burning-in since last night, and already the difference in my system is very noticeable. Big improvement in dynamics, clarity, decay. I know it sounds like a cliche, but I'm hearing things I've never heard before. The haze is gone and the sound is more natural and life-like. I was a bit skeptical that spending thousands of dollars for an interconnect was worthwhile, but I can say these babies are outstanding performers.

Does anyone know how long it will take before they are fully burned-in? It's kind of hard to believe they can get much better.

Mr Tennis - To add to JaFox's comments... I would not recommend JD's more expensive cables (the Hybrids) to someone with a modest system, however, better cables do make a helluva difference in highly resolving systems with higher end components. Better systems deserve better cables to bring out their full potential.

I'm sold on Jade Hybrids... the difference in sound quality coming out of my system was a dramatic leap forward. The Hybrids sound much better than my Purist Venustas, and the Venustas is a good cable.
