Purist Audio Break In - Venustas

The Venustas is not bright sounding, I think, some of your units are that way. That's all. When you want to avoid that "sound" you can compensate it with Cardas 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...

Syntax,

I bought the Venustas because when I borrowed them from the Cable Co they where not bright in the system, in fact they were perfect for me - no brightness at all. My personal set came in yesterday and it doesn't sound the same, it sounds bright (relative to the ones I borrowed). I'm assuming that is because the cables need to break in, but since the differences seemed so obvious I wanted to know if this is a normal experience for others.

Jfech,

By "source" I mean from where the signal comes from. In this case the amp is the source of the signal in relation to the speaker cables. I know the true source is the DAC however.

Hi Last Lemming,
strange. When I bought mine I got from the very first moment its sonic presentation and after "burn in" it just became a bit more in every sonic area but I never had such a dramatic sonic change from bright to smooth (or something like that).
