venustas or jps superconductor 3 speaker cable?

As a C1 owner I compared the S3 to the Nordost Heimdall and Frey's. I thought the S3's were equal in the high end. The S3's were a little laid back in the mids. But what made me decide on the Frey's were 2 fold. First the Nordost has a hair more detail/clarity which although at first listen seemed to be a 'thin' sounding cable. The longer I listened the more I heard more 'air' between the instruments and vocals which made for a better sound stage. Second the bass. Only when listening to deep kettle drums did the Nordost really shine. The S3's sounded more like a thump than a drum. I even took the cables to a friends system and heard the same thump. So that thump wasn't my electronics or room.

I was lucky to have both cables to demo in my home for 6 weeks. At first listen to both cables my gut reaction was the S3's were better. It wasn't until I heard the kettle drums did I finally make up my mind.

As far as the Purist Audio I will admit I have never heard them. But as Opus88 mentioned the cable company has a nice loaner program. That will give you the opportunity to hear them in your home on your system without a salesman.

Just another option and my opinion

For the C1, without doubts, go with the JPS Superconductor 3.

Just a few interjections regarding accurate vs. inaccurate in audio parlance. A fair number of us audiophiles reveal a concern for and attraction to the kind of sound that displays clean outlines and so called tonal neutrality. Almost anyone who attends a live concert soon discovers that this kind of sound is much less in evidence in the concert hall than it is in one's home, coming from electronic boxes and cables. Even a cursory listen at a live concert reveals instrumental sounds that are softer, warmer AND frequently easier on the ears at greater dynamic levels in contrast to reproduced sounds in one's abode. Would one describe this concert hall experience as a "neutral" manifestation of reality? I guess what I'm driving at is while we enjoy our own personal sound illusion at home, some of us occasionally get quite insistent about any "other" kind of preference being innacurate and/or colored in the worst sense of the term. For those who don't or won't admit it, colorations are everywhere, and this is precisely why I don't really like using the word, neutrality(inasmuch as I am sometimes compelled to for the sake of familiarity)when it comes to characterizing sound. We pick and choose or are drawn to or taken in by constellations of colorations. The only absolute sound is the publication which bears that name.

carol, why the jps?,and the venustas wath?

The JPS has more neutral, transparent a detailed sound.
The Venustas has warm and rolled on top sound.

You can also contact to the writer. He strongly recomend the JPS for the C1.
Also you can see that it´s very difficult to find used JPS Superconductor 3. That means that it is an excellent option.
If you don´t want to spend a lot of money, move to the Ocos speaker cable. Dynaudio still use and recomend it.
