sonic signature of Pure Note Paragon Question

I am using the Paragon enhanced in my system and have compared it in the XLR connection with Nordost Valhalla from my esoteric dv-50 to the preamp. The Valhalla is impressive and for the same amount as the pure note paragon it would have been a close choice. The difference was not better or worse, just a choice of preference for the style of presentation. The Valhalla had slightly more sparkle in a nice pristine way, I found the paragon enhanced to be more balanced all around.
With the paragon being priced much lower it was the easiest choice to make. I sold the Valhalla without any regrets. And yes, the burn in time for the cable was long and the sound not very pleasant and the beginning.

Difference between Cerulean and Paragon is dielectric material, Paragon has slightly lower capacitance. Result is lower background noise according to Tim. Not sure what changed on Enhanced version.

Even with Cerulean, Pure Note is an exceptional cable and competes with just about anything out there regardless of cost.

Not too sure if you are still around as it has been almost a decade since you posted this. I cannot seem to find the Pure Note web site. I presume it has disappeared?

I have the Pure Note Cerulean speaker cable which has been sitting in the closet for years now. I intend to use these with some amps but need to check the capacitance of the cables. Do you happen to know where I can find the specification of the cables?

Any response would be most appreciated.
