Purist Aqueous PC vs. Dominus PC for CD player

I wrote this in my first post:

I have done a comparison between Aqueous Anniversary, Dominus Ferrox and Dominus Fluid. The Dominus had more body and weight, and the highs were more natural. This applied to both the Fluid and Ferrox versions. The Ferrox has less midrange bloom, and the bass is more tightly controlled than with the Fluid version.

Happy to answer any specifics. What more would you like to know?

Tvad, thank you again for your response. Did you notice a diffence in transparency between the Aqueous and either Dominus, and also was there a clear winner in terms of soundstaging? Thank you.

I have to echo Tvad's post. He pretty much nailed my impressions of these power cords.

I might add, I do like the fluid Dominus in some applications better than Ferrox. Mostly on Digital. Also, the fluid did work very well on my turntable motor controller. All other areas (preamps, amps) I liked the Ferrox. But I am running all tube amps and pre's. Solid state or a different system may yield a different result.

The Purist 20th Anniversary, yields a improvement over the Dominus. Blacker back ground (much), better details, seems to blend the mids of fluid, the extremes of Ferrox, all perferctly. It's just a amazing cord. Sounds like live music in a killer venue - like the Myerson in Dallas.

Personally, you can't go wrong here. They do get better the more you spend.

Good luck !

Considering the current price of used Dominus cords (Ferrox or Fluid), I personally would not bother with Aqueous. In my opinion, the improvements as you move up the Purist line are not subtle, and you'd eventually want to upgrade anyway.

at this price range, consider also the acrolink PC7100. Its very very good for CD players.
