Purist Audio power cords and cables


I just saw that the newest top of the line Purist power cord is retailed for $10k one meter length.
Are they so much better than Dominus?
I have this wish to challenge Jim Aud himself to tell the difference between them and Dominus. In a system of his choice with my choice of played material. Anyone compared?
Now, I am a big fan of Purist. Suddenly Swiss watches for $30k or so seem like a big bargain.

Albert, I suspect you tried every Purist cable ever made. What is the difference between Dominus and the newest one? And another question to you. Is that customized Technics that you have, two actually, the best turntable available? Better than Walker or just different?
I don't borrow equipment if I have no intention of buying it.
Envy your Studer.

Inna,

The Dominus line has been strong for many years and the newest version is better than ever. However, when one moves up to the Limited or 25th Anniversary it brings the filter network into the test.

The filter network cleans up so much grunge it's hard to explain unless you hear the effect. The 25th Anniversary not only has the filter network but uses pure Silver conductors. There is so much difference between the 25th and Dominus you would not believe it.

On the Walker, I had the premium version at the time with Black Diamond tonearm and every update including power supply. It was a wonderful table and very quiet, the linear track arm has advantages as well. The problem is speed stability and dynamics, the direct drive Technics SP10 MK3 excels in that department and comes much closer to the Studer, for which I have some master dubs to compare to LP.
To ME, Purist has a particular sound whereas Wireworld just tells it like it is.

Every connection has a particular sound, I’ve never listened to any interconnect or speaker cable that did not alter sound from what it was being compared to.

Some people like Wireworld, some Cardas, some Purist and some High Fidelity cable. Obviously all these are top quality and end user should use what best suits them and their system.
Albert, I've been reading your posts for years and have no reason not to believe your hearing and objectivity.
So, those cords are not just cords, they are also sort of power conditioners.Hope to try them one day. Currently using Custom Power Cord Company Top Gun cords, they are very good; I don't have very powerful amps for which they are not quite recommended.
Well, speed stability and dynamics are paramount. Why don't we see more direct drive tables? Too difficult to make them right?
You don't use linear tracking arms with your Technics. Why not? It doesn't work or just not a very good match?
Stringreen, what you are saying is very wrong. Everything alters the signal, it is the question of how much and in what way.
I really dislike Cardas, to my ears they totally miss it. Didn't try Wireworld and High Fidelity.
But DiMarzio M-path, $150 interconnect, is quite close to Purist Maximus, though not equal. Maximus is more three dimensional and 'aristocratic'.
