Indeed, it is class, but under that exterior it's a Lotus/Renault. I wonder who makes the bulk cable that carries the JPS branding.

Such devices are dual-use. The second use is as an IQ test.

Not feeling so bad about the Tributaries I purchased on sale back in the day. Thanks for the review Amir!

Just the physical appearance looks like industrial instrumentation cable. They usually have multiple twisted pairs and a tough outer jacket. They typically are rather stiff with something like a 4 inch minimum bend radius. OTOH, I have some of the same WBC cables which are sinfully supple to work with.
If you do uncontrolled test your basically 100% sure to "hear" differences Amir demonstrated a result of typical sighted testing , swaping the order of the cables might have yielded at different result
In short if you listen to the same song 2 times in a row and think something has changed you can bet $ that a "difference" migth appear

And their F1 cars always looked the best to me. Just class.
Hello @restorer-john : I liked your F1 Car. I just need to post this up for you with respect and the hope for one of your great responses.
Second to that. As a child I was the greatest fun of legendary Lotus team. The most beautiful F1 branding of all time IMHO.

The sad part is that most cables aren't even visible. Unlike some other snake oil, you can't show these off to your friends that easily.

You didn't try their "top" cable, the Aluminata 2 <https://jpslabs.com/collections/interconnects>. "Top", of course, means Totally Outrageous Price.

Yes, the black and gold looked great. That was when Fittipaldi was F1 champion.

Sinfully supple? Just how supple is that?
I made my own, with Mogami cable and Neutrik XLR, for about € 25,- (and a hour of fun)
Guess these measure at least as good

Someone ought to make glowing cables, so they announce their presence in unmistakable terms.

I know. I just wondered who our Gold Coast member thought it was.

Back to analog interconnect cables:
The cable differences will be in noise and/or interference. Like Shield Current Induced Noise current (SCIN).
Retired Audio Engineering Society interference expert Jim Brown and others, wrote AES papers on this topic some 20 years ago.
See the AES Papers section.
