Nsgarch,
I agree the Purist Audio cables are very quite however I have never heard my system sound so quite as when it is entirely wired with SR Tesla cables (ic's, sc's and pc's). In fact this is how I would address Tesla's amazing detail. It comes from pitch-black backgrounds. In other words in the total absence of noise you hear inner detail and micro dynamics that you were not previously aware of.
In regard to sound staging and image placement I do not find any consistent perspective (front row, middle hall or in the nose bleed seats). Instead I hear my system change (sometimes dramatically) from CD to CD where some tracks sound small and intimate as if I am sitting in front of a performer. On some CD's I hear huge sound fields that extend past the walls of my room.
I seem to remember a review that explained this pretty well. If I can find it I will provide a link.
Anyway the best way to hear all of this is to audition different cables in your system and then decide.
