Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
Good to know, thanks 
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
Jfrech,I have the Venustas praestosSeems like its settling down but I only have 12 hours on them 
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
Sorry Jfrech, my fault, these are speaker cables. I just realized I didn't mention that anywhere.Syntax,I wouldn't have thought there would be a big change either, but it was quite obvious when the first song came on. 
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
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. 
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
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 br... 
Purist Audio Break In - Venustas
As for the right direction, I have the label end of the cable on the amp (or source) end as the instructions say. I'm sure they will settle out, but I didn't know if the extra length might be the culprit of the brightness or that the cable just ne... 
Review: NAD m51 DA converter
I use the built in volume control of the M51 strait to the amp - no preamp. I found the presentation of the music much more open and less veiled when going strait to the amp from the DAC. One note though, I use XLR to the amp from the preamp. When... 
PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
auidtioned the Venustas - bought the Venustas 
PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
I just demo'd Elementa Advance. Compared to Musaeus it's definitely more open greater transparency while still having many of the midrange and treble qualities of the Musaeus cables. I would say the Musaeus show a smaller presentation while the EA... 
PAD Musaeus vs. Kimber Kable 8tc
On continued listening tonight I am really liking the Musaeus, and hoping from a Agoner conformation that the Venustas wont add brightness but will be more open and more resolving - or is there another PAD (below Venustas) that achieves this. 
Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's
I listen to all sorts really, but if I had to try and narrow it down, I like Miles Davis (who doesn't right?), Pink Floyd, Harry Connick Jr., Norah Jones, Classical, Johnny Cash, Queen, Led Zepplin . . . well all sorts. I've just recently added a ... 
Impedence change with cables and sub
Right now I have the hi level connected and it seems to work pretty wellSo I will stay with that and avoid any issues. Thanks for the help! 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
Velocityofhue, right now i run straigt from the source to the amp. Though I would love to add a BAT preamp wouln't I just be adding a sonic flavor to the signal at this point. Assuming the BAT doesn't does help in any other way. One question thoug... 
Sub question for my system
I just purchased the R-328 today. It has some similarities to the Vandersteen such as a hi level input that comes off the amps to help match the sound to the overall system. I hope is sounds as good people say! 
Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp
What benifits would adding a preamp be? I would think it would only add the new preamps sonic signature to the sound. I suppose this could be good or bad - depending.
