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.

Hi, make sure you have them going in the right direction, crucial for these cables. Other than that you have two issues, first, after shipping they take a day or 3 just to settle down, then 150-200 hours of breakin.

You have great cables, just give em a bit...also they will get better then maybe worse during the breakin process...good luck and congrats on your new cables
last lemming...the amp isn't the source in this instance...should be your cd player, pre amp etc...the amp is the destination for the signal in this case...

A extra 1.5 meters you won't hear..maybe in a super hi rez system going back and forth...but you'd likely have to have the hearing of a bat...
HI sorry to pick on this again... but the labels should be closest to the dac or pre...not the amp...maybe I am not understanding something...just trying to help you sincerely. If the labels are close to the amp, I don't that that is right...

Unless these are speaker cables...and I am thinking interconnects...maybe that's the mis understanding ??

Hope this helps...again just trying to help

(I also have to agree with Syntax...the cables do improve but not that dramatic like bright to smooth...)
How long have you had em playing now? Settling down any? Let us know for sure after you get about 200 hours on em...

One final question...did you audition purist venastas and buy purist venustas praesto? The praesto revision does make the cable a bit more quicker, quieter and a touch more resolution....but doesn't loose any of the warmth...could be a possibility.
