I've compared Symphony, Valkyre and Pathfinder interconnects and speaker cables, yes there are differences though they are subtle; but worth it if you have the $$$. All of the things that Jennifer's cables do well are done better the higher up you go up the line(I have not heard the new dreamdancer's yet), larger soundstage, greater sense of clarity, even blacker background are the most noticeable gains. One day me and a couple friends sat around and compared the various levels of Jena Labs cables, I brought my symphony's/valkyre's, another friend brought his valkyre IC's and the fellow who was hosting this affair had his Pathfinder's(and a few symphony's- not to mention great armagnac), his system is composed of all reference level componente, however the room is horrible- very thin and bright. The room actually made the differences a little easier to detect! After a very long day of listening we all agreed the symphony's were by far the best "value" however the pathfinder's and valkyre's were slightly better in all area's, just at a higher cost. It comes down to just how much do you want to spend, for me I am happy for now, though I could see dreamdancer's in my system with in 5 years :)
