Ken,

In which way is the sound quality improved?

Which aspects of the cable contribute to which aspects of sound quality?

Thanks,
Leny.

Oh, can I answer that one?

The ALO Jenna Labs cryo 18g cable that I borrowed and listened to gave me more micro-detail, allowing me to focus more easily on different layers of the music, such as following background instruments. It was less blurred or veiled sounding, and therefore much more transparent sounding, allowing me to hear into the music without being so aware that it was coming from a small speaker right beside my ears. It was like I was wearing invisible headphones (HD600's). The HD600 also seemed to be quicker and had more extended treble, without being bright or sibilant. The were no colorations added to the HD600, but bass did increase by what seemed to be about 2db.

Moving from the HD600 cable to the HD650 cable only provided some of the benefits or gains, but could not match the JL cable at all.

Cost was the only reason I didn't buy one - I had other things on my plate to deal with and pay for at the time.

I think Larry has captured it. I would rather let users make the assessments on what sounds like what and how. To me its just simply "more better"

I am not sure what you mean - I am only guessing if I say maybe the 18g copper renders good bass and warm mids, and that the cryo process speeds up the cable so the highs are more sparkly, with detailed/clear bass mids and highs.

That is only a guess, and has no scientific basis. Like Ken says, it just makes the sound "more better", so I don't care how it does it.

On a scale of 10 being the best, if the JL cable is a 10/10, the HD600 cable is a 7-7.5/10, while the HD650 cable is maybe a 8.5-9/10.
