So yesterday I received a new 1m pair of Venustas Luminist RCA from the dealer I have been working with where I bought my Venustas speaker cables from. I immediately plugged them in on my A/V receiver and CD player to burn-in while I was working (benefits of working from home right now) because I would rather not waste tube hours on my main system. So last night I did some listening realizing the Venustas RCA only had 6 hours on them, the Cardas Cygnus have over 300 hours. My immediate impressions were clear. The Venustas just has so much more focus, thats the best way to describe it. Every instrument has much more focus in the imaging and every singer, tracks where multiple vocalist were used, each one has a clearer focus and defined voice. The overall body and tone is fuller, especially upright bass like Milt Hilton's bass on Gutbucket Steepy on Branford Marsalis album Trio Jeepy is eerily realistic and present. Overall soundstage is bigger, wider, but mostly deeper both front to back. The Venustas is impressive.
