new Pure Note Alluvion speaker cables

12-25-08: Transl
So far, a bit compressed as compared to Cerulean. I will try to replace the jumpers with copper ones.

I own the Cerulean. Great speaker cables. I can just imagine how good the Pure Note higher range stuff would sound.

Who knows whether the Alluvion is "higher range" stuff as compared to Cerulean or not. The Ceruleans are more straightforward - tight bass, huge dynamics, midrange is a bit lean (perhaps, with my open baffle speakers). The Sonic Genius is right - the Alluvions have a dark background and are very liquid. Nice cables, anyway.

Burning-in the RCA ic's now. Nice sound out of the box. Love the connectors (same ones used on early Valhallas). Will report back next week.

Transl: What was your final verdict on the speaker cables after break-in?

The final verdict is very favorable. The cables now produce a very interesting effect - I don't "hear" any cables at all. Just an open space between and around the speakers with instruments floating in the air.

I hope to read your update on the I/C cable.

I now have 100 hours on the Alluvion RCA interconnects. My first impression is the fact they are not there. The background is dead black (reminds me of my Kuro HDTV). The music flows effortlessly. No edge at all in the mids and highs. Bass is deep. These cables don't sound silvery.

I love the connectors. They fit tight and I can do on-the-fly changes without popping my speakers. These are the same connectors that are found on the Nordost Valhallas. The cables are also light and flexible, nice to handle.

Prices are more than the Paragons but far less than the Titaniums. Overall (IMO), Pure Note's best product in their ten years of existence.
