Yes my much younger, beautiful new wife of 8 weeks would love me to bring home the huge bright color horn speaker things. She puts up my hobby but I try to not over do it and horns would definitely over do it x 1,000

Corvus is probably not a good match to simmer things down.  They are more on the forward side compared to other PAD models.   They were too forward for my Thiels,  and also more forward than Venustas and proteus which I also owned.

Did you give up on KS?

I gave up on the Expression's. My HiDiamonds although bright in my system were overall a much better cable. Would love the emotions but the only used one out there were sold. I am looking to buy used - good cables are way too much $$ new.

Thanks

Hi fsmithjack,

Saw that you posted that you are in Dallas on business until Wed. Albert Porter is in that area and I think he has his weekly audiophile get together on Tuesday evenings (?). Could be a good chance to experience the Purist cables FWIW.
