Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?

Realistically Rcprince
, until there is a reasonably substantial body of reports on Aqueous Anniversary cables that are completely broken in, it will be difficult to define exactly the sound of these new wires.

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?

Are you referring to the Aqueous Anniversary Contego? My experience with the Aqueous interconnects is that they are more neutral than the Venustas.

I suppose this all depends on which PAD product one chooses as being representative of a neutral sound.

Furthermore, if the Dominus interconnect or speaker cable are the chosen neutral cable, then the universe of those who have owned these will be fairly small, and the experiences of those of us with knowledge of Venustas, Museaus, or Aqueous will be of little value in this discussion.

Purist uses silver for most of their better cables, and some are a silver gold alagam. Purist are one of the best made cables I have ever seen. I have tried DIY cables and have been unimpressed. Mapleleafs3 is well aware of this information, yet he insists his 'european cat 5 is the best cable in the world.
He has sent me about ten or fifteen of the most obscene e-mails arguing this point for the last few weeks, but ultimately admitted cat 5 sounds like crap.
I have the brocure from purist. It takes about 180 hours to make a pair of their cables according to the manufacturer. The terminations and shielding materials are the best I've ever seen. I haven't seen every cable made, but I have done shoot-outs with friends which have used Cat, Kimber, Cardas, Monster, and Purist. The Purist simply sounded the best.

Heh interesting, you weren't the only one to get the emails Tvad. I had an email or two as well.

I lowered myself and told him he couldn't appreciate anything he couldn't pony up for like the cables since he had to save the money in case he needed surgery in his county, as he was also berating the USA...

Really... the forums are for advice and help on how certain products integrate with others and to get better perspective and such... and you have children spamming your email.

During my experimentation with various high end cables I got various contacts and much help from Albert (thank you) who I knew could point me in the right direction.

Being UK based I thought it could be tricky - the result was Purist's dealer - in Vienna I think - offered to *sell* me some cables and maybe buy them back if I didn't like them. Suffice to say I didn't take them up on their offer and never heard them.

Sorry to post on-topic
