Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable


Hi,

Not to downgrade the efforts of cable designers, for me cable industry is the least technical demanding one among the audio equipment manufacture field but the price tags grow exponentially in the past decade. I can pay for technologies like amorphous metal alloys from Stealth or the battery-biased designs of Audioquest. But Purist Audio Design provides inadequate information to convince me to make the purchase. Even their most advanced technology years ago – The Radiant Light Source (RLS), they did not explain the source of the designed illuminating light.

So help me here. How to justify the over $5,000 price tag of Dominus interconnect cable at 1-mter length.

Thanks and Happy Listening!

I tried synergistic research, other PAD lineups from the lower ended line - Menustas I do believe and the one right above it. Can't rember which SR it was, but it came with different bullets you interchange to adjust sound and a wall plug to energize the cord or something like that. Another one was a cardas golden reference.

I don't rember the specific pros and cons of each off the top of my head. None were horrible. What I do rember is that when I put on the Venustas I was like "that's it" that's what I'm looking for. The other thing I noticed, that I didn't want to, is that as you go up in the PAD lineup it just keeps getting better.

My Venustas replaced my Kimber 8tc's. The kimbers gave my system a leaner sound that tilted towards the highs, but very detailed.

I wish I could guarantee the PADs would work for you, but every system is different so they may or may not be to your liking.

All my cables are about 1/7 my system cost. This doesn't seem out of line for a high end system, and if your system is very revealing then better cables will make a difference one way or another. I'm sure at some point there is dimenishing returns, and that's where I feel i am right now.
Hi Zd542,

Yes, there is another pure silver interconnect cable will arrive next Monday.

The Venustas interconnect cable is in my system for almost 10 days. I will hold my tongue until it is ready to be seriously audited. There are some folks in my area will join me for fun comparison.

Happy Listening!

Be sure you give the Purists their break in time. It truly does make a difference. It might take at least 100 hours or so.
Otto (Yu11375) many have tried to help you, I think it is high time you report back with your experience about the Venustas. I see so many OP open a new thread and other chime, the OP leaves every body in the dark with his experience, so just asking but not giving anything back, hmmm?
