I have had this cable now for a few weeks. I burned it in with a spiffy rca to din adapter using the Purist enhancer CD for about 150 hours alternating between the purist cd and music for that time period. At least another 150 now on music via the cartridge. I may still have some breakin to go, but think I have 95% of it.
This is a MUCH improved cable over the Venastus. And again, the Venastus is still a killer cable. The Proteus Provectus is about twice the price and about 3-4x the cable.
All my comments above stand. Dynamics, transparency, significant clarity gain, tonally I don't notice it be skewed one way or the other than venastas. I also don't hear the fluid signature vs ferrox like I can with the dominus fluid vs dominus ferrox (fluid being super in the mids, ferrox being super at the extremes). It's just right.
When I say clarity, it's like I had a vieled distortion, not in the back ground, just on the music signal. It just connects me much closer to the instuments. The sense of placement in on the soundstage is eerily real. I can hear each instrument, again that clarity word comes to mind.
It's delicate, it's powerful, precise, simply conveys what's on the record.
If you have a Venastas arm cable, this is a great step up. Not a single reservation. If you have a different arm cable the Venastas or Proteus Provectus are killer good...just more money gets more.
