Thanks Quint, it's good to hear that about Jena cables. Glad to hear also that the cables, etc. that Jena Labs produces are fine products, as well.

Things just looked a little askew with that link, but your post has helped dispell suspicions about the potential for duplicity. Just wish she wouldn't have mentioned that she's got a product to replace those she criticizes on the very same page. There's a little concept known as avoiding the appearance of impropriety. Next time she'd be best served by merely having the products available and easily found on her site, but not touting them alongside very harsh allegedly fact-based criticisms she levels at other producers of similar products. It's okay when the ad copy is obviously puffery; we see that all the time and think nothing of it. Of course a manufacturer will inevitably think their product is best. No quarrel with that at all. But this wasn't puffery, this was an all-out nuclear assault on metallic-based contact enhancers. And that comes across more as a factual assertion, a "You Are Warned" type approach that will unnecessarily and unfairly scare some neophyte audiophiles into submission, and into avoiding a potentially useful set of products that could bring greater enjoyment of their music, IF applied properly (but that's a big "if", apparently.)

Again, thanks for your comments. You cleared up a few things quite well. I hope maybe I'll get a chance to hear Jena Cables sometime. Because frankly, any time there is a lady involved in anything audio related, I want to be as supportive as I can. We need more women in this hobby, especially as manufacturers, as the biological fact of life is that these female critters hear MUCH better than us male critters (probably because they're smart enough not to blow out their ear drums with hyper-loud music in their carefree days of youth!) My wife's ears sure have incredible high frequency extension. Why, she can even hear me thinking naughty thoughts about those ubiquitous honeys we all see on nearly every beer commercial.

Now, THAT's great hearing!

All the best!

Winston
