Fusion Audio cable?

@denon1 I understand what you mean when you say that the Purist cable makes music so enjoyable to listen to.  There is something going on there that I can't always put into words.  The best way to describe it is that there is a solidity to the music, a robustness and a confidence that is natural, not mechanical or digital sounding but analog and lifelike.  The Romance II ic seems slightly fragile compared to Venustas.   I was able to hear some lesser bitrate digital files showing digital glare whereas with the Venustas in place these files playing thru the Lampizator were very analog, organic, full-bodied and simply more natural in their presentation.  The Romance exhibits magical midrange presence yes, has all the audiophile bells and whistles yes, but somewhere down deep is missing the heart and soul of the music here in my system.  The Venustas has a more confident solid flow, exhibiting the heart and soul of the music and is slowly but surely making a hard case for being my all-time favorite interconnect.  Hopefully, I have not jumped the gun by making this statement too soon, as the Romance II interconnects were installed in the system yesterday at 1pm.  There is a chance they need more time to do their thing.  For others reading this, I will say with great certainty that the combination of Venustas interconnects and Ella speaker cable is fantastic in my system, as always...YMMV

@pops first, thanks for the Theil info!  I'm gonna assume you prefer the CS 6 over the 3.6?  I think either would be good performers here and I am also looking at older Sonus Faber designs.  Do you have any experience with SF and the MC501s pops?  Cremona or Grand Piano Home?

I also NEED well defined, textural, deep bass response and am glad you are getting that with the WW cable.  As far as the refinement we discussed regarding Venustas and WW.  The jury is still out, I must try the WyWires Silver and Platinum ic in comparison to Venustas.  At this point in my audio career, Venustas is the champ in most all areas that are important to me, with my equipment and in my room.  I know you have the Rives Audio room there pops and would like to discuss with you some more about what Rives has done for your listening experience.  I also feel like your system and room is a great medium for discerning qualities of audio cables.  Your opinions mean alot to me, so thank you for being a part of this thread.

Thanks Waxwaves for the incredible complement!  Not sure how good my ears are but I have been at this most of my life!  I really like both Thiel speakers and would say if I had to pick one to live with forever it would be the 3.6.  I think Robert Harley said it best in his review that these speakers offer a complete and utter transparent view like looking through a window - I compare the see through experience like a sliding glass door that is so clear you could mistakenly walk into it.  Now, as has be said many times they must be fed/matched properly upstream to get the output you desire since they deliver what is put in.  The 3.6 is slightly more transparent and the CS6 is slightly more dynamic, both have similar great tone and timbre.  Right now I am listening to the 3.6.

I do not have any real experience with SF other than limited dealer exposure some 20 years ago and it was remarkable.  If memory serves me it was the Guarnari (spelling), a 10K monitor with Rel subs in a huge room, not sure the electronics and it was incredible and out of my price range!  But it helped fuel my audio nervosa bug.

The Rives build out was the best investment I have ever made in my audiophile experience.  I was lucky to have a great space that was partially finished and a serious man cave or as my wife put it "pit."  PM me anytime and I will be happy to provide some details.

YW pops, I think your ears are doing fine ol' buddy.  We will talk Rives Room soon sir.  I have noticed three pair of CS 3.6 on the net with asking prices of under $1500!  Is this normal?  Tho not all are in the greatest of conditions, they are still temping me.  I imagine them to sound very nice with 250 McWatts.  The gentleman in Alabama may get a visit from me soon.  I have a fabulous cabinet guy at my disposal who could have them looking dandy in a week or so.  There is an extremely nice looking pair of CS 3.6 on eBay now for $3800, but the seller Don doesn't seem like he wants to budge.  Personally, I think he's dreaming and will have to come down in price considerably.  Any info regarding valuation would be helpful.

@denon1 I am experienced with Proteus Provectus(fluid), Dominus, Venustas, and Musaeus(all ferox).  Do you know if the Neptune fluid filled cable is similar in sonics to the Proteus?  Yes sir, I am eager to try the Neptune as I have heard many good things.  As a matter of personal preference, I chose Venustas over the Proteus Provectus interconnect. 

Denon1, I would love to spend time with your awesome speakers!  Congrats on this feat.  I have my eye on a nice pair of Grand Piano Home, any thoughts on these sweet speakers?  Anyone?  I want and NEED an introduction into Sonus Faber at under $3000.  I'm turned off by what many here have said regarding the newer models and am thinking of going back a few years if you know what I mean...

I jumped the gun with comments made regarding the Romance II ics prior to burn in.  They have the solidity now that was not present initially.  I'm not experiencing glare anymore and the lifelike midrange presentation is here.  Killer, killer bass that is extremely well defined, and top end so smooth, extended, and refined.  They have been impressive all weekend coming from the Lampizator, with Venustas between pre and amp sections, the Ella speaker cable, and Venustas speaker jumpers.  These two brands of cable compliment each other very well in my system and performance increase is evident.  I'm very pleased!  

I will turn my attention to the music,  holiday gifts, and holiday cheer with friends and family for awhile!!   Hey I am still catching up on some of the good music from great artists recently passed.  We have lost some greats this past year.
