<p><img class="story_image" src="http://www.stereophile.com/images/081313-JIBUSA-600.jpg" /></p> JIB cabling, long linked to its factory in Berlin, has now birthed a distinct US branch. Aptly named JIB-USA, it's located in Fremont, CA. At CAS, Allen Ong and his son displayed, among other models, the company's new DSP-001 speaker cable ($7150/2.5m pair). Composed of UP-OCC that is cryogenically treated, insulated with Teflon, and terminated with rhodium connectors, the cable made its silent show premiere.

Yes, JIB almost always mounts passive displays. Instead, they offer a 90-day money-back guarantee, which should give folks plenty of time to discover what lies beyond their cables' eye-catching covers.

AudioVision San Francisco, one of the West Coast's major dealerships, sponsored three exhibits at CAS. Each was in a space considerably larger than their main San Francisco showroom.

Spaciousness, however, is not always an advantage when two displays are housed in acoustically damning perfect cubes. Thus, in the first room I entered, a few hard-to-tame resonance issues clouded an otherwise extremely musical presentation of a wonderful LP on which Tony Bennett and Bill Evans perform "The Days of Wine and Roses." Mastered by Steve Hoffman, and available from Analogue Productions, the performance was made all the more compelling by Audio Physic Classic 20 loudspeakers ($4490 to $4850/pair)
