Hello Otto - I am not at all certain what information you need for "your" justification, but Purist Audio is a very reputable company and the lead designer, Jim Aud is very accessable by phone or email. They do publish their specifications and treatments of cables, design and use their own alloys ( Dominus is a copper/silver/gold alloy), design their own dielectrics, and make their own connectors. Purist cables are one of the few that I know that are actually designed by a degreed, scientific engineer - someone that has the legitimate "chops" to discuss their designs and materials. We all wish that cables would not cost as much as they do, but Purist Audio has many less expensive models in their product line as well - all very well detailed and documented as to materials and design.
Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable
Hi,
Not to downgrade the efforts of cable designers, for me cable industry is the least technical demanding one among the audio equipment manufacture field but the price tags grow exponentially in the past decade. I can pay for technologies like amorphous metal alloys from Stealth or the battery-biased designs of Audioquest. But Purist Audio Design provides inadequate information to convince me to make the purchase. Even their most advanced technology years ago – The Radiant Light Source (RLS), they did not explain the source of the designed illuminating light.
So help me here. How to justify the over $5,000 price tag of Dominus interconnect cable at 1-mter length.
Thanks and Happy Listening!
