We at JMaxwell USB have a design philosophy that is based in science and engineering, but that is also steeped in principled listening. We
believe that all decisions must be substantiated by decent electrical theory, and with the final proof being based on discriminating listening
tests in multiple audio systems. Pure science alone or simple listening tests alone are not adequate to develop a great sounding USB cable. The fun
is when you combine both scientific theory and listening sessions to create a product that makes a difference in our audio enjoyment.
Following are a series of articles that we hope you will enjoy reading. Combined, they present a well-rounded picture of what went into creating
the JMaxwell USB audiophile cable.
