I did the same thing with a Museaus, borrowed from the cable company and then bought new. And I had the same experience. By the end of two weeks of listening a few hours a day, they settled into what they sound like now.... and what the loaner sounded like. Purist Cables are the first cables I've been able to hear an improvement with at a attainable price. Really great stuff.
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
Need some info on fellow users of PAD Venustas. I used the Cable Co's library to review the Venustas and loved it. Just got my new Venustas in today and plugged them up and they are decided bright sounding. I know the cables need breaking in, but can someone tell me if the brightness is normal? The only difference between my set and the library set is mine is 3.5m long and the libraries was 2m long.
