Thanks To Jena Labs & Duster.






I'd like to thank Jennifer and Andrew for arranging an audition of her Twin 5 Speaker Cables on my behalf, as mentioned earlier I'm trying to finalize the voicing process of my cables as my intent is to merely invest wisely in said cables as a means of enhancing my system as well as listening experience to a point where as I no longer have a urge to seek changes for the sake of slight differences in tonal balance or shadings here or there.

And here's a shout out to Duster, whom is one of the most avid tweaker's I know......., yet one in which I've always seen as spot on as far as his very very insightful recommendations have come to prove worthwhile additions in voicing not only my system components, but by teaching me and many others I'm to assume the various ways of dialing in our systems and ac outlets by understanding the different flavors of how metal plating on connectors as a whole function in regards to tailoring each to compliment ones system in such a manner as to not only create a collective whole, but also a means of correcting tonal, as well as timbre and pitch balance which are all vital as far as allowing a certain emotional connection to the underpinning musicality hidden within the notes themselves......

As both the Twin 5s and said combination of the 40 X 10mm carbon fiber disc and Herbie's Audio Lab Grudgebuster Dots ( black ) have both proven to be very very worthy of any serious music lovers attention......., here again I must stress the point of " music lovers " as there is a distinct difference between these types and those whom are merely fascinated with obtaining merely " Hi-Fi type effects " which in hindsight tends to spotlight certain frequency curves at the expense of simply allowing the signal itself to be passed along as unfiltered as possible.

It's when one begins to understand the relationship between isolating each component from its internal as well as exterior resonance points that a sense of flow seemingly connects more directly with ones core........, yet as it relates to cabling which in itself adds a certain how does one say " coloration " to the signal begin the recordings themselves, it's very very difficult to know what's actually true as to how any given artist had initially intended for their recordings to be not only heard, but felt.

Tonal purity is one of those very seldom discussed issues in most forums as I've noted since becoming active on a more global scale in being a member on sites as far away as England | Hong Kong | Malaysia | Greece | Japan as well as North America, as I tend to believe in order to gain a clearer concept of any given diverse component of interest, one must in fact ask those of its place of origin how they hear it?, after all whom has a better chance of hearing many of these wares which may not ever reach North American shores, more so then its natives!.

Yet said attention to how Jennifer has in fact over the course of many many years voiced her cables to be amongst the most uncolored ones I've heard to date......, and know that I've borrowed my share at many prices as a means of merely wanting to know......., but when it comes to hearing ones music as if heard anew, one has to ask themselves " why haven't felt the notes being played so honestly before now? ".

If we were to seriously look at those whom actually produce their own cabling, and then how they voice them to suit certain types of source or amplification or speakers as a means of correcting tonal balance ( yes, this is an area within the notes which are very vital to me, so forgive me if I've a tendency to overstate it ) but in truth by filtering said balance is in hindsight a coloration itself......., as a more direct sense of hearing music as if reproduced in real time has a sense of spaciousness | beauty | effortlessness to it, one can't help but notice they're in fact listening more and more to their music collections as opposed to dissecting the fidelity of the electronics or speakers.

And while I'd say Jennifer's cables are often overlooked by a great majority of so-called Audiophiles......, where I'm in fact a music lover whom happens to believe the system is merely a means of connecting to the recordings and not the other way around........, as a $400.000 system serves one not if the owner only tends to own and play a very select say 25 disc or LPs over and over and over......., I see this type as a person whom priorities are wrong, and is merely one of those whom seeks status above all else.

It's when one finds themselves faced with a budget of either investing in the same olde favorite of the month type of mindset where one never stops seeking " more " from a component, as opposed to those like myself during my 20s | 30s | 40s whom on an average found themselves going to the record shop between 4-5 times per day in search of music ( vinyl in my case during these periods......, but I'm such you get my drift ) as a music lover I tend to think that once a person actually has gotten out and visited enough audio shops, shows or heard systems in friends homes one should've gained enough insight as to know which type of presentation fits into their concept of how music should be heard | felt and then carry this sense of knowledge with them into how to select components which are capable of moving you to tears......, laughter, the need to dance, reach out to a loved one, remember ones past, present and think of ones choices in the days and hopefully years to come......, a well balanced system is capable of trance fixing ones mind | spirit | core as if setting a place in time where peace knows no bounds.

Well Jennifer's wonderful cable has allowed me not only the chance to hear the essence within the notes, but also have allowed me to reconnect with a world of music where each genre is rendered beautifully......., so much so that I'm not afraid to admit I do find myself crying......., yet as the wife puts it " it's very nice to see you do have a very gentle, human side beneath all that hidden violence of a beast ".

As long as my wife understands as I've gotten older, wiser......., it's things like music and movies where one clearly connects with painful moments within both......, that one gets it.

It's an emotional thang......., either you can relate, or you can't?. In the end, it's how capable ones system is of bringing them a sense of enlightenment which matters most.

I'd like to once again thank Andrew | Jennifer and Duster for all having bought my old ass to a place where contentment has finally settled my once wary mind....., these aren't going back.

Be well,
O_oh
