Jenving Supra Sword advertised for $800 (9 ft).

"Virtually no inductance" is their claim.  

Jenving makes very highly reviewed cables.  Their claims are more legit (to me at least) than most cable makers, but interested to hear other's wisdom.

Hi,
Personally, $800 is too much for speaker cables.
As far as their claims are concerned, they make some sense to me.  The way they say they wind the wires in both directions, to eliminate inductance, I think that is how they make non-inductive wire wound resistors.

Looking at the picture of the construction of the cable, one layer (in one direction), sits inside another layer (in the other direction). Wouldn't that mean that the lengths of the two sets would be different? Is that a good thing?

Only a technically advan-ced maker could make it available to the public.


I don't know how advan-ced they are in cable making but, they should consider a more sophisticated way to sell them.  The ad copy reads like an ebay ad.... Kind of has the essence of snake oil.  Whether their cable theory works or not, who knows?  At $900/pop they should have the profits to hire an ad agency.

Since their site won't sell it to anyone who would actually buy it, maybe someone who hears it in person one day could comment on it.  And, maybe they could measure this 0 inductance cable and see what other measurements come at the cost of its design... like high capacitance.
