I just bought the new Aqueous Anniverary IC cable. And it is by far the best IC on my Musical Fidelity Nu-vista Power amp. I had many on my Nu-vista; Valhalla, MIT AC-1 Oracle, FIM Gold, Cardas Golden Ref, Siltech's. But compared to the Purist we are talking about superiority. The low freq. are by far the best I've ever heard. It goed a lot deeper. The middle are more open than all the other cables I've ever heard. And the high's are open but sweet.
