JPS Superconductor 3 vs Inakustik LS-1603


Who has experience to use JPS Superconductor 3 and Germany’s Inakustik Referenz LS-1603 speaker cable in Avalon speaker? Which has better sound in your opinion?

I heard both cable are very nice, now I have chance to buy a two years old 2nd hand JPS SC 3 (About USD 1280) and a new Inakustik (About USD 1550). I heard a lot of good things about these two cables, especially JPS SC 3, which work very well with Avalon speaker (I use Avalon's Ascendant II). Unfortunately I don’t have chance to test with these two cables in Avalon speaker. Who can give some comment?

PS: Maybe one thing I don’t like JPS SC-3, it is very hard, like steel.

For several years, the JPS Superconductor 3 has been my speaker cable of choice. It has never sounded "hard like steel" in my system. I agree entirely with Jwpstayman's description of its sound. If you seek a truly warm sounding cable, the SC 3 will not be for you.
Sorry, I read OP too quickly. Meant to say the cable itself was not "hard as steel". Never any problem adjusting it, though I would have appreciated a bit more flexibility. Otherwise, my listening impressions still stand.
