JADE AUDIO Cables


Hi

I ordered a pair of Jade Audio cables (Vermeil version, not the Golden one) from Audiogon member Jadem6, who offers a one month return guarantee.

I was wondering wether other Audiogon members already tried and/or bought these new DIY cables.

I read the review made by JD himself, but ofcourse I'm curious to hear the comment of buyers/users.

Thanks

I've not heard the Jade cables,however,I believe member jmcgrogan2 should have listened to the Gabriel Gold Revelation interconnects instead of the Extreme's if he had the opportunity.The Extremes sound fantastic,but the Revelations take things to another level and then some.

Also in fairness I believe both the Revelation and Purist speaker cables member jmcgrogan is using are very short, and not a recommended length by nearly any manufacturer.
It is not uncommon for a short run of speaker wire-say 3ft-
to sound somewhat truncated and to not necessarily take on the true effect of the design whether it be Purist,Gabriel Gold,Audio Metallury,etc.
It should be noted that most speaker manufacturers frown on short lengths and are very reluctant to sell such lengths.

I see that Jade is coming out with a speaker wire line,it will be curious to hear if they will make short lengths and would advise them to do some careful listening to a short run.

I will probably get a pair of Jade cables in the near future so that I can check them out myself.

As far as Audio Metallurgy goes I owned some of their original designs and have heard the GA-O's .
The GA 0's are also a very good cable especially at the auction prices.

Based on jmcgrogans comments I also concur that the Gabriel Golds are in another league and if the Jades are up there with the Gabriel Golds then the consumer has some great options from 2 giant killers.
Hey John
No hidden agenda here and no affiliation with Gabriel Gold.
As far I know he seems to be a 1 man operation for the time being as I believe the gentlemen from Jade is.
This may be the reason for the high quality sound coming from both of these cables.
There is no personal attack here either I guess I take comments a bit seriously and may be a little bias.
Please accept my apology if you think this is any type of personal attack.
I have been following both this thread and the Gabriel Gold thread and just thought you left out a few details
that you noted in the long running Gabriel Gold thread that you did not mention here.
I simply provided a little more info.

I do have a strong opinion on short lengths of speaker cables not sounding as good as longer,however,this is just my opinion and that would make for a good thread if it hasn't already.
On a different subject sorta
Have you ever gotten a chance to listen a longer pair of say Purist vs the pair you use now?
I would be curious if you heard a big,little or no difference.
