Skip the Musaeus if you want to try Purist for newer Aqueous or Venustas if you can. I am not familiar with the totally revised Elementa; it can be good. But you know, before you might want to do that, give DiMarzio M-path interconnects and Super M-path speaker cables a try. For $160 1.0 M pair M-path RCAs are very very good. I use them and I use older Purist cables. And I am very serious about cables. DiMarzio interconnects work well with Purist speaker cables in my system. If I could I would of course replace them all with Purist Proteus Praesto Revision.
Cheaper Purist is not likely to give you enough of high frequency extension and tight bass.
