Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system

KS cables do in fact sound better than most new but I would have to dispute that in 2 days they max out . I have found that the last of the resolve came months into the burn in .

Brent, whasup, tell me buddy, which Kubala do you have now?

Sorry Steve. I think you finally crossed a line with me.

You paint quite a different story here than our conversations and your post here mentioning RSAD is contradictory and misleading. Almost like you have an agenda. As a result, I see some implications that come with the possibility of creating false perceptions in others.

In a phone conversation we had late January, after having the cables more than 3 weeks (you were supposed to have them only for 10 days) you told me you hadn't listened to the cabling. The next day, as per my request in that conversation, you finally sent the cables to the next participant in the audition tour we had made available. As you mention here, you told me your system was down. You say here you did listen to them. If you did, you had less than a day to listen to cold wires in a downed system. And then you come across as if the RSAD wires are not comparable? What's up with you Steve?

I've had the opportunity to actually do some direct comparison between the K-S Emotion and RSAD "P"!! Sigs in a system that is one of the most musical systems one is likely to encounter. In that system, as in our test bed here the RSAD cabling was as 3 dimensional as I've heard. That characteristic is very high on my value scale as to what I want a cable to allow. The "P" series cabling is not 2 dimensional. In that comparison, the "P"!! Sigs were preferred over the Emotions...enough so that the Gent who's system we were using for the comparison bought the Poiema cabling....for his whole system. As with all high end cabling, the Poiema is different than the Emotion but it is not in a lesser league by any stretch.

The Quote you mention was from Oct.'05 and was entirely different than the needs you mentioned to me in January. In that Quote, which we still have, the request was for enough cabling to allow for at least two different set up configurations because you told me you wanted to be able to demo different stuff for people. Sounded like a pitch to me then but nevertheless, I obliged your request back then. When we spoke in late January, you expressed to me you wanted cables cheaper(!) than our current ads were posting. I said depending on what you needed and the dollar amount, I might be able to afford a little help but I couldn't promise. I told you to post me with your current specific needs so I could take a look at it. You said you would. Based on my past experiences with you, I didn't hold my breath. I never heard back from you and you didn't receive a Quote from us for your current system as your post implies.

Further, you imply there's not much of a cost difference. Are you nuts!? LOL! Unless you're getting a very special deal on a group buy there's a substantial difference. I understand there's a ball rolling to acquire enough people for that and that's what you're in on. A sincere Good for you. When folks purchase from us they will not pay MSRP or retail either and by the same token, if someone were to arrange a group buy from us, they would pay less than our typical ads. So, rather than skew the picture Steve, please compare apples to apples.

Finally and honestly Steve, after at least four phone conversations with you and unlike virtually everyone else I've enjoyed working with whether they've bought from us or not, I've never sensed you were being straight with us here. Your post here seems to confirm that.

No sour grapes here as some will probably assume. I simply take exception when one posts something mentioning RSAD that is less than true to seemingly promote an agenda at our expense.

So, I'm done. Carry on. If the Purist or K-S cabling gets you personally closer to the music, it's good. Like I said, I've heard the Emotion and I understand it's appeal. It is good stuff for a given set of ears and system. I imagine the Purist offerings are wonderful too.

Sincerely,
Robert

Robert, I apologize for the above post, I did not intend to even answer the question on this thread, or any other. I thought about it, when I started writing a response, and intended to just delete it. My damn finger hit Submit, instead of preview, and wham, it was to late. Unfortunately there is no edit function on audiogon.

Robert, you have always been a REAL GENTLEMAN to deal with, and I agree, your cables were not given a real opportunity in MY system. Just one thing I would like to clear up here. I have NO agenda here. I did in Fact Talk to you on a Thursday, when we decided I would ship the Cables out to the next person, the following week. Greg Straley came over on Sunday(for the second time)Helpingme get my speakers working properly. I did in fact have about 12 hours of hearing the Poiema !!!'s. They are VERY good cables, and should be auditioned properly. I apologize for this misunderstanding, and hope that audiogon would delete my post above.

I'm the one that started the thread '' Kubala-Sosna Cables, I don't get it ''. I am still in the market for a balanced interconnect to go from my Rowland Synergy IIi pre-amp to my Rowland #5 Amp.The rest of the system is Purist Dominus and Venutas speaker cables. I really liked the Synergistic Absolute Reference X2 interconnects. Fast and detailed with a nice touch of warmth.... The Synergistic added some speed that I think I needed as sometimes too much of a good thing like Purist Dominus and Venustas made my system sound bloated, syrupy and sweet. So, I will throw my hat in this,,,,,how would the Kubala-Sosna Emotion sound between my amp and pre-amp. Remember, it's just your opinion.
