Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami

Does anyone have experience with changing a long Mogami interconnect with something like PAD Venustas? I'm wondering what the gains would be.

I'm currently auditioning PAD speaker cables (Proteus Provectus actually) and like them. I've read a lot about the PAD lineup, but don't know what the Mogami characteristics are (I don't have a 40' cable of something else to swap it with :-))

Thanks in advance.

I can confirm that fluid in PAD cables makes a difference. I had Maximus interconnect that was 2/3 empty, sent it to Purist, got it back refilled, and now it sounds better. They cleaned the connectors too, and possibly did something else as well - I don't know.
Purist cables are great, just need some care every ten years or so.

New windshield wipers really make my car drive better. I recently took my car in for new windshield wipers and it drives so much better now. They also put new tires on when they did that and I think they may have done something to the engine too. Windshield wipers are great, they just need to be replaced every couple of years or so.

Sorry Inna, I couldn't refuse that ;-)

As I have posted many times beore...there is no "best" cable. All cables sound different hooked up with different components. I just love Anti=Cables with MY components, after trying much of the top line stuff from PAD, Nordost, Kimber, Cardas, Audioquest, MIT, etc., etc., I lucked out because AntiCables are inexpensive too.

Next time "refuse that" and you won't have to appologize.
I have another Purist cable that once was full and now empty. With everything else remaining the same, the sound is worse in every respect.
Also, some people on this forum appear to be unable to actually hear anything.
