Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system

Rick is right, really. While you can mix and match and wind upwith good synergy if you work at it and do a lot of trial and error, I found with the Kubala Sosnas that they work well individually, but excellently as a system. You can't go wrong with either cable, in my view, but they apparently are different. The differences were described by a member (JAFox)in the Kubala Sosna--I Don't Get it thread from December, which I suggest you check. I think the bottom line was the strength of the Kubala Sosna was its neutrality (it is a cable that reproduces all of the frequency spectrum equally well, no area standing out) and, to me, its natural portrayal of music, the Purist Dominus was more vivid and perhaps had better bass reproduction (I might disagree on that, unless it's a matter of comparative excellence, as the Kubalas are excellent in my system at both deep bass retreival and getting subtle bass textures right). Depends on what you're looking for in your system. I would characterize the Kubala as a music-lover's cable--you can forget about the equipment and concentrate on the music. Can't characterize the Purist, haven't heard it in my system (except for Collossus, and that was a long time ago), though from the comments I've seen on it I'd imagine it could have the same claim made about it.

I have recently added a few more K-S PC's, bringing all of my cabeling to K-S. I have to completely agree with Rcprince. The days of focusing on the gear are well behind me. Now it is all about the music...and this includes some significant downsizing in my amplification.

My cabling changover has been happening in stages. I have a mix of K-S's Fascination IC's, Expression & Emotion PC's PC's & Emotion SC's. Becuase, I have kept it all in the K-S family, I have only enjoyed improvements and never any lack of synergy issues.

If you like to improvements that a Kubala-Sosna cable brings to your music playback, you'll likely love having their cables throughout your system.

Rcprince, thanks for the direction, I read the JAFox thread, and actually talked to a couple people with differing opinions. I was told from a fellow member that there definately is a synergy, using all same cables, but, when you get to this type of level of cable.....EX: like in one of the threads I was reading, all K/S with a Dominus to source for "more accurate soundstage". Man, I wish I could hear them first. I have a contact who has Tons of K/S, and is committed to "more tonal accuracy" using the much more expensive top of Jena Labs. He is just geographically out of the country, and I cannot ask him to ship on a trial basis"customs, and all" I know his cable are less than a year old, and can put a great package together.

Personnally, I like what I read about both Purist, and
K/S. I just wish I could hear them, before I buy them.
I have experience only with a Dominus PC on my conditioner. I was using an Epiphany X, which retails for HAHA $5200, and putting the much less expensive ugh, Purist was a wonderful improvement, in my system. Oh well, I gonna keep saving up for this side investment, my wife would kill me if she knew I was gonna spend this type of $$$$ on wire...I guess I will keep it to myself.

Barrelcheif, thanks for your input on the synergy just keeping within the same manufacturer. I am presently selling off a bunch of stuff not being used, and I am gonna bite the bullit on either Dominus, or Kubala. I would love to hear more from the Purist owner too.

Thanks

Steve
