Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?

It was as if a scrim was put over my view of the music as the AA cables were most subtractive in upper octave energy.

Yup. Something's going on. What you heard couldn't be further from what I heard.

Almost sounds like you received defective cables. You might consider auditioning another pair just to verify.

Mapleleafs, based on what? You seem to have all the answers. Please enlighten us with the homebrew recepie that beats them all.

Mine were from the Cable Company..... It really sounds like the cables I tried where not broken in. However, I was told that they had been in their demo stock for about four weeks, and I would think that they put them on some kind of cable cooker to begin with. It's kind of a shame becouse I really was expecting big things from the AA.

Chris, my Aqueous were clear and extended fresh out of the sealed plastic bag direct from Purist Audio.

I tell you, it'd be worth another listen just to be sure.

Chris, I must admit I too had very high expectations of the AA taking my system by storm. And I liked what the one cable did in my system so much so that I kept it. But unlike any cable I have tried in a long time, this cable is very system and even system-link dependent. With such differing observations on this cable as indicated here, I don't know how anyone could make a pre-judgement on this cable ..... they must try it themself.
