I did a direct shootout between the Jps S3 and the Nordost Frey. The Jps were very good but I did hear 1 flaw. The deepest of bass notes were muddied. Just to be sure I brought the cables to my local dyn dealer and heard the same in a different system. There I also compared directly to the Vahalla and the Jps's were about equal in the mids a little laid back in the highs but the deepest of bass notes were still very muddy. I will also admit the deepest of bass notes are very few and far between.
At first the Nordost seems to be very laid back but the more I listened to them the more air between the instruments and vocals I could hear.
