Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable

To the OP

I think you made a good choice. Once you try CC's lending program, you'll never do it any other way. I'm pretty sure the Ventustas is the one they sent me when I tried Purist. Also, they may make alternate suggestions. I always go for them, myself. Even is I end up not liking them, I always learn alot from the experience. The only other thing I can say is that if you don't like what you hear or are not sure, don't buy anything. You can always spend the money (For me, that's always the easy part).

To every one else:

I read the explanation on how the lights shining on the dielectric yield better sound quality. I could be wrong but I don't buy it. It may very well be a great sounding cable, but is it because of the lights? I doubt it. Are they lying? I don't know that either. Maybe they think its the lights but its really something else. Just to note, I'm not one of those people who argue if cables make a difference. I don't believe that they make a difference, I know they make a difference. Sometimes, though, cable companies do make some wild claims. For me, this is the most wild one that I've ever herd. Would I buy them? If I was shopping for something in this price range and I thought it was the best sounding cable; yes.

Geoffkait,

You make a good (and valid) point. You may be right, but I would think that any proprietary technology that Purist, or any other cable company comes up with, would certainly get a patent. I know many other cable manufacturers get patents on their designs. They always make it a point to list them in their ads.

Wonderful cable,open,dynamic,quiet love it.Nobody pays full list!!

Thank God and Zd542! I am not the only one puzzled by the mysterious light!

Below are few sentences from George Cardas in a interview regarding his "Clear" series cable with SoundStage published in June 2010.

"While many manufacturers hide their designs behind a wall of secrecy, claiming “proprietary” material science and geometries, George Cardas & Co. were happy to discuss what all these terms mean, and how they implement them in the Clears. Let’s examine each more closely."

What a totally different approach! Only brave accept confrontation with confidence.

By the way, Ventustas interconnect cable will be here next Monday. I will post my findings in a month.

Happy Listening.

I've got the PAD Venustas speaker cables. I never thought in a thousand years I'd pay north of $2700 bucks for cables. But after auditioning them, and many others, from the cable company I could not deny the level of quality or ability that came with them. Yes their website is weak, their product however is quite strong. JMO.

This seems like the "expensive" v. "overpriced" concepts at work. IMO, something is overpriced if you can buy something just as good for less money. If you can't, while the item may be expensive, it's not overpriced. But, and this is a big but - is the price of the item you know is better worth the difference over the lesser product to you personally? I think the BMW 5 series is considerably nicer than the 3 series, but to me, I can't justify the 20K price difference. So it's a question of what the improvement is worth to you personally, weighed against the difference in price.
