Purist interconnect cables


It appears that the PAD Proteus Rev B was not kept in he PAD line for very long; were there issues with this cable? How does it compare to the new Venustas line, which is actually cheaper than the original Proteus Rev B?

I think you should email Purist dealer Albert Porter on this site.  I'm sure he can answer your question.  Very responsive person.  BTW, I have recent experience with both the Venusta and Neptune and they are both great cables at their price points.
There are many used Venusta for sale but almost never Neptune. Neptune is Purist's best value cable, very popular.
I bought a few Purist cables from Albert Porter--a very good dealer.  However, my inquiry was related to a cable that seems to have been taken out of the PAD line and I thought this forum would be the best source for objective input on this.
Why would you think anyone here would have more information about the PAD line than a long-time PAD dealer?  Well, let's wait and see. Perhaps you're correct. 
why the op doesn’t contact Jim from PA is beyond me.

he would have had his answer already.
Proteus was discontinued at LEAST 10 years ago.  There were no issues with it as far as I know, but it was replaced in the line, just like the Colosseus was.  Upon occasion, when a significant enough change comes along, Jim at PAD will retire certain model names.
I still have the original Colossus fluid speaker cables. I also use newest Neptune interconnects. I like the original silver alloy with fluid Purist cables. Try to find them, difficult.
