Review: JPS Labs Superconductor 3 Interconnect


Category: Cables

I have replaced my JPS Labs Superconductor 2 interconnects with the new Superconductor 3s. I have been listening to them for about a month. The SC2s were excellent and worthy of a reference status for the past 9 years. JPS Labs has designed a worthy replacement. In my opinion the SC3s are better in essentially all areas. The most noticable improvements are dynamics, resolution and smoothness. The SC3s are also even more quiet with a slightly more relaxed presenation. The highs are more extended without edge or any brightness whatsoever. The sound stage is deeper with more solid focused imaging of the instruments. Even the bass is more defined and tighter. The midrange is also more open and as full as the SC2s. The overall improvement offers more immediacy and realness to the music. The SC2s were exceptionally good and only by comparison are less competent. I would recommend the upgrade if finances permit and the rest of your system is already excellent. The discerning listener will notice a worthwhile improvement.

I listen to jazz, classical including opera and movie music sound tracts. The new ICs have significantly added to my musical enjoyment and a worthy replacement. The break-in is gentle with a little roughness between 20 and 40 hours, thereafter all smooth. I use the SC3s between CDP and preamp. Also used from preamp to amp. No weakness and lots of strengths. They are well worth the price.
