This review of Purist Audio cable contains diagrams and technical info about their construction. It doesn't appear to be lamp cord, as the conductors are mixes of copper, silver and gold. |
Thank you Grant, I rest my case. yet mapleLeafs3 was a 'good' theory, in that it lended itself to being proved true or false. As such, even if one doubted the veracity of the PF specs, one could presumably waste some perfectly good money and take a Purist wire apart to verify that the wires are made from utility grade lamp chord. Mapleleaf3, want to give it a try? |
Why anyone should have to defend a wire choice, especially when evidence of construction materials and test specs are provided is beyond my comprehension. I suspect those who crow the loudest do so because of some barrier to entry. This kind of debate is absolutely useless and destroys the pleasure of the audio hobby. |
I haven't read this entire thread for a while, but the one thing that surprises me is that Purist, a company I've long respected as making excellent, neutral products, is selling a special edition version of its cables that appears to be anything but neutral. I know that cable manufacturers have "house sounds" we can expect from them by virtue of their construction methods, the dielectric used, etc. (in the case of Cardas, there are different flavors), and that a truly neutral cable in all applications is never going to completely exist, but my past experience with Purist products led me to believe that their goal, by virtue of their proprietary jackets on the cable to eliminate outside interference and the use of special alloy wire, was to provide as neutral a connection between components as they could. Is this "colored" cable an abberation or an intentional design choice? |
