Strength:

Let me state from the beginning this is not the fastest, maybe even not the most transparent IC I have. At the same time, one of my long-standing CD in my collection is actually a compendium sung by Miles Davis, and one collection that got played through the years; the pervasive opinion being, as well played during those years, that it is a shrill recording. The music just sounded as if the upper frequencies have been strung like an arch's chord. First time I played the well played recording through the JPS cable, and it looked like the poor fellow squeezing his cheeks was trying to tell me something. That something was music. Maybe I did not get all the meanings to his music, but what I got was finally some music. Now, there are music cables and there are Hi-Fi cables; the former they convey music, while the latter let you delve into microdynamics, resolution and what not. I said in the beginning that the JPS cable is not the fastest, but it is the most musical. This cable plays one instrument or four different ones with the same focus, albeit with their own energy. Now, it wouldn't be fair to write about a single component. Sound has as much or more to do with the whole system, ranging from power outlets to speaker stands. Having said that, JPS Ultraconductor was the only interconnect which wrapped my system together in a musical manner.

Weakness:

None that I could find.

I have the UltraConductor ll's. Interesting that there are not any reviews here on these!

I had been listening to my Silver Bullet 4's for years. No reason to look elsewhere until I got a tube preamp and needed another set of interconnects. At first I just bought a pair of Better Cables Silver Serpents Anniversary Edition's. It was an easy buy, and I could check out the silver over copper sound. For a year or so I was listening to that combo, switching back and forth, and settling on the Silver Serpents in the DAC to pre position, and the Silver Bullets in the pre to amp spot. No problems. I had some longer Silver Serpents that I was using on my sub, and for the heck of it I switched those with the Silver Bullets to see what would happen with silver over copper x2 on the preamp. Well shisters, that was disturbing! Mud, and mind bending crap. I felt like I was going to have a seizure! The sub did sound good though with the short Silver Bullets in there! Tight, well defined bass. A move in the right direction for the sub. That got me thinking...I already had the JPS Labs digital power cord. I liked it, but nothing to rave about. I took a second look a their interconnects, read some reviews, and pulled the trigger.

Wow, and wow. I did expect them to sound good, but this is a very good upgrade over the pure silver. Kind of like the best of both worlds. Large sound with good definition. Bigger and easier. No real downsides. When I subbed the Silver Bullets back in the sound got small and somewhat more irritating in a way. These are keepers.
