Hi Claus,
There is a thread in the wire forum, here it is:

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f21/my-two-cents-not-okay-cross-signals-cable-408346/index3.html#post5546826

I don't believe the Jena or Litz technique is any good at all. I never heard the JVCs with the Stock cable, because they were recabled when I bought them. I'm thinking of pulling that Jena off and recabling with a Dual Star Quad I am working on. I think there is seriously bad engineering in Headphone cables at present. The Jena Labs braid is top of the heap in ripoff to me. Getting ready to Re-Gear my office. The JBL Sub is in place and I'm waiting for my new DAC!

Hi Les
Just saw your gear IMPRESSIVE.
Does the Jenawire make a difference on your JVCs

Kind Regards
Claus

Hey, in case you haven't already ordered from Lawrence, take a look at my thread http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/law...-senns-374621/

There was actually someone else very recently whose Zero from Lawrence arrive DOA. If you receive a DOA item you will be required to ship it back at a cost of about$40 that he will not refund. He appears to be the only person that will install the Alps pot, but if you can do without that I would recommend Wsz. You can actually get free samples of the opamps that go into the headphone amp board. Just buy wsz's upgraded version, I think it cost about $178 shipped.
