We
are measured in worth by the people who buy our products. We rarely
advertise in Magazines or Journals, in the future we may do that more.
As a small company we have been amazed at just how far and wide the response to what we produce has been. Our products
have sold around the world, mostly by word of mouth, and the
representation of a few dealers who see a product worth carrying.
Many other products carry far more profit to a dealer but none as much
value in performance in the areas in which we manufacture. That value
is to the customers and hence to the dealers who provided a product
that really performs. Thats the profit that comes from another
future sale to a very satisfied customer. something to think about.
We do not buy our reviews... many company's do. Any review of our product is by merit alone.
We can't buy the hearts and
minds of our customers... it is they who have offered these words which
follow.
They lead this page because it is a satisfied customer, more than a
Magazine review, which measures our value to those who believe in our products.
There is no particular
order to these individual reviews and they are covering the assortment
of products we make in whichever way that they do.
No spell checking, just the raw comments.
We are happy that
people do like our products and take any comments to heart. And it does
have an influence on how and what we produce.
For obvious reasons we do not identify our customers identity's... but
the words are real and those who wrote them can testify to themselves
the truth found here.
Almost all of these came from e-mails post sale and trial by fire, so to speak.

Hi Michael
this wire is absolutely incredible, it is the best wire for this kind of audio use I ever got my hands on.
I purchased this wire, in order to re-cable my Edition 9 headphone, which I mainly use for travelling.
After I have re-wired it and started the listening I could immediately hear the quality of the ultra wire.
The music was much more open and balanced than the stock cable. Much more control in
the bass and a much better balance between the mids and highs. The difference to the stock-wire is quite
amazing.....it simply eliminated the weeknesses (a little soft mids) of the Edition 9.
So after this positive experience I did also re-cable my Edition 8 headphone, which is my actual main headphone
at home. This was not planned, but it had to be done after this positive experience. I had already
re-cabled my Edition 8 before, not at last since I have a symmetric
headamp. In this process I have tried no less than 5 different
cables, some of which I had in my box of ods and sods. Among those cables have been cables from: Cardas, Zu-Audio,
Van den Hul and Kimber. The cable for which I settled then was the
Kimber 8TC (yes I manged to cramp this one into the headphone),
which was by far the best of the ones I tested. The Kimber cable did just sound much more alive, than the others, while
not sounding harsh. So now my Edition 8 is also re-cabled with the
ultra-wire and it is a considerable upgrade, even to the Kimber, which
is not a bad cable itself. Same effect here, more open (airy), more
balance, more control and much more neutrality without sounding
boring.....just great.
So in my book the ultra-wire is the most tonal balanced wire and it is
such without sounding boring, since it is fast to. It somehow combines
the best
of both worlds, the copper and the silver world, without having the disadvantages of the silver.
Since I have recabled now 2 headphones, which was not planned in the
beginning, I have used up all material and need to re-order more, since
I want to have some of this
marvellous stuff in my box at home for spare.

Hello Michael,
Received a package yesterday, thank you! I have already recabled my
ATH-ESW10 and Ultrasone 900 Pro (full recabling, including separate
cable entry). Well, what I can say. I was thinking of selling ESW10 -
not anymore! It is a keeper now, the same as Ultrasone - it just
opened like a window to the music. Thank you very much for your help,
and for a great product!
Most sincerely

Hello Michael,
Very nice difference
the new "jumpers" made. There is more air around the instruments,
subtle nuances are more pronounced, such as fingers tips rubbing across
guitar strings are more outstanding. The entire presentation of
these Magnepan QR 12's is better. In my opinion, you have an
excellent new product!! Thanks again, and my hat is off to you
and Jena Labs!!

Internet Magazine or E-zine
This section is a sampling of the Magazine reviews we have received that were published outside of our company.
Magazine reviews are important to everyone. That is how many people
make a judgment on if or if not they have an interest in a product and
many times, it is how they even find out that a product even exists.
As stated before, We do not buy our reviews... We think that is
important. Many Magazines will only review a product if the
company that produced a product, advertises in the publication...
That is how the world works... So far we have tried to separate
the relationship in the pursuit of some great truth.
That has been difficult. But here it is.

Forums.
Forums are bit tricky if one is looking for absolute truth... Yes that
can be found, sometimes. And always with the Caveat that the reader
should be very weary of competitors jumping in with a derailment
agenda, in order to sell their own products.
Not a
judgment here, in many ways it is to be expected. but it is also
true that numbers of people who like something by direct experience can
out weigh those with either an agenda... a different sales agenda or no
direct experience but a wealth of opinion. So be it.
We do not attend directly or indirectly any forum to promote
ourselves. It is a matter of integrity as policy. Oh yes we
love to have our customers get involved... That is the venue of
customers talking with each other. If you have ever wondered why
we don't promote ourselves directly as a manufacture on any of the
forums... There is not enough time in the universe, to attend to
the rising noise floor of scripted replies that just want to absorb
time and effort of a direct manufacture in order to generate conflict
for its own sake.
Forums are the venue of proper place for discourse between customers... not manufactures.
That is not to say that we do not read them :)
But we do believe that truth will rise up in time. it just does.
Even our publishing this on our website is going to inflame someones
ire and will bring down a wrath of anger somewhere out in forum land...
there is no answer good enough for some people... So we just continue
to produce real goods for the real world and let the slings and arrows
fall were they may... or not.
Forums are the venue of proper place for discourse between customers... not manufactures.
So with out fear of the truth as we have nothing to hide, here are some
links to the forum "reviews" we have found... you will also find
replies of whatever good or ill will one can imagine.
I will say this.. Those who like our products and have direct experience with them outnumber those who have direct experience with them and do not like our products. We have no complaints with results like that.
Those who do not like our products and have no direct experience with
them can say what they wish and we believe that everyone can interpret
that for what it is..
All we can hope for is honest opinions...
