VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects

Yes, I use the balanced Pulsars (in fact, I am the one that begged Chris to make them in the first place).

They are much more primarily b/c the xlr connectors are very expensive (Furutech Rhodium are $150/pair and you obviously need 2 pairs per set of ic's). Additionally, it is a double run of wire.

How long is really long? Just contact Chris and see what he can do for you.

Well said Tvad. I am still stunned at the performance/value ratio on the Pulsar.

Although I do think there is some value in giving details such as which is more dynamic, better HF extension, etc... IF it is done on the proper context.

If you say how each compared in your own system, that can help a person get an idea of the "flavor" of each ic/cable.

Just added a 1 meter Pulsar with NextGen RCA plugs from my cd player to preamp. The results bested my reference VdH Ultimate First - a very nice IC in its right, with great microdynamics and clarity of sound.

The Pulsars brought their own qualities to the mix (I also have 3m of Au24 between preamp and amp). The most notable were a large, volumous stage free from the speakers, a well balanced vocal sound with a nicely layered soundstage bringing up the backing instruments behind the vocals. Macro dynamics are excellent and supported by a tight, and well balanced bass (acoustic bass sounds very nice). I loved the way the IC seems to just let the music flow, never drawing attention to itself. Coherent, layered sound with just the right amount of warmth.

Burned them in with Cable Cooker for 48 hours and never looked back. Highly recommended IC for anyone looking for an insert and enjoy kind of IC. Others seem to highlight the sound in ways that eventually bring fatigue or buyer's regret. Very few products in this category that I've found in 10+ years.
