I haven't read this entire thread for a while, but the one thing that surprises me is that Purist, a company I've long respected as making excellent, neutral products, is selling a special edition version of its cables that appears to be anything but neutral. I know that cable manufacturers have "house sounds" we can expect from them by virtue of their construction methods, the dielectric used, etc. (in the case of Cardas, there are different flavors), and that a truly neutral cable in all applications is never going to completely exist, but my past experience with Purist products led me to believe that their goal, by virtue of their proprietary jackets on the cable to eliminate outside interference and the use of special alloy wire, was to provide as neutral a connection between components as they could. Is this "colored" cable an abberation or an intentional design choice?
