Sorry I can't type more. Order of preference...Graham last...hovland...then the Purist is a big step ahead. The Graham and Hovland are good...the hovland being warmer. The Purist is just a competely different cable...much blacker background...much more details and extension. I've owned all 3 for a least a year each...The Purist will stay for a very long time! Maybe a dominus one day !

But it was using the Graham IC50. Btw, I've enjoyed reading this thread. I too, have spent countless hours redailing in my TT/arm with the Purist Venestas. Something about these better cable reveals more.

After about 200 hours...it really opens up...sweetens up, details comes out...decays...bass much more solid and dementionsal... 25 hours you're just missing the best!
