objective information are willing to accept subjective opinion from the same person. Mind boggling.

Without a listening comparison, you cannot reach a final decision, no matter what I or anybody else says here. I respect all the views said here but I really can't agree to condemn JPS based on just a printed serial number or whatever else for that matter.FWIW, I have never heard JPS cables and have no hidden issues in defending or not defending them.
One thing I do know and this is not a secret to anyone, Harmonic Technology and Acoustic Zen both use almost the same raw materials
and most probably also the basic raw wires used in the manufacture of their cables. I wouldn't also be surprised if they were sourcing this from the same place. On top of that, they both shared the SAME designer at diferent time intervals. Pick any IC from either brand
and you will see that they sound COMPLETELY different despite using the same raw materials etc...The other surprise here is that I've also listened to the cables of their supplier and there is nothing remotely resembling, sonically, any of the H/T or AZ cables. Meaning that H/T and AZ are both doing their own special design recipes to the 'raw' cables they are using.
The point is, again, you HAVE to make a sonic comparison in the JPS / Eupen case. Any prior arguments or indictments are basically useless, with all due respect.
This is where I stand and where I hope others would too, until a proper listening comparison has been actually performed.

comparison per se, but with folk wanting ME to do and report on it. That's what was troublesome. The same folk that would not accept objective information (information that stays the same regardless of our opinions) from Steve and me , and even bordered on calling us liars, seem to think that we would be trustworthy to give a SUBJECTIVE opinion (subjective=changes with attitude, emotional state, biases etc).Now I like to think that I can be totally objective no matter what my biases or emotional states are (yeah, right) but why on earth would the people that damn near called me a liar think so?
