I have the PV which replaced my original vdH SME V cable. I think there is a thread here somewhere that discusses/compares all the ones you mention except for the Nordost. See if you can find it. (I'll look too ;~))
I don't think he's shouting Kat. I think his "caps lock" is stuck in the 'on' position. Now tbg, well I don't think it's the same story exactly. . . . . . .
I have compared the Purist Venustas to the Graham IC 50 and the Hovland. 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 !
