Purist Audio Break In - Venustas

Hi, make sure you have them going in the right direction, crucial for these cables. Other than that you have two issues, first, after shipping they take a day or 3 just to settle down, then 150-200 hours of breakin.

You have great cables, just give em a bit...also they will get better then maybe worse during the breakin process...good luck and congrats on your new cables

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 needs time.

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.
