I just loaned a 10ft bi-wire set of Museaus from "The Cable Company" and tried them on my Classe amp and B&W's and was not very impressed with them. I currently use PAD Aqueous for the Hi freq connection and PAD Elementa for the LF,
and Colossus interconnects (balanced and SE).
I found the Museaus to be not as smooth as the Aqueaous.
Especially on Female vocal the Museaus was a little bright.
This was an already burned-in pair, on loan. I di give them a couple more days of burn-in time, but I was not that much more impressed. The only thing it did better than my current cables was the bass response was fuller and deeper.
For now, I will stick with my current. Anybody looking to upgrade, you can sell me your colossus.
Inna, you are correct about the elementa. However, my outlook is changing on the new Musaeus. The loaner pair of Musaeus was only broken-in on a "Cable Cooker" I have left the Musaeus in my system for a few days now and it is settling-in very nicely. It is much fuller bottem end and very detailed and open. I also borrowed a run of colossus to compare to the musaeus and I must say, I am very impressed. Jim Aud is correct that the new sheilding is a much lower noise floor and allows you to hear more of the fine details of the recording. I think that was what I was hearing in the upper frequency, and now it is starting to smooth out a little. It is just as open as Colossus and soundstage is as wide and deep if not deeper. I will let you know what I decide.
Nrchy, I have ordered the Musaeus Bi-wired and I am going to loan a pair of Musaeus IC XLR from The Cable Company.
Maybe for curiosity I will also loan the Venustas. I do not know If I can afford that, but It would be fun to try.
I'll let you know.
