I think the post by Mes was right on target.This is very much like my own experience. Yesterday I heard Valhalla interconnect compared to JENA Labs Pathfinder. The results were not even close, to my ears.
I have found that the JENA Labs cables all have the same sonic signature. They all use the same wire and termination. As you move up the line what you get is more wire and more of the same good sound. I personally own Symphony interconnects. While I was waiting for them to to arrive, I was loaned Pathfinder cables. The difference was not as much as I expected. They sounded very much the same. The pathfinder had a bit more bass and more body. They replaced Straightwire Crescendo in my system, which sounded harsh in comparison.
