Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow


Just inserted a pair of Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables into my system and I must say that they are quite impressive. Dimensionality and tonal colors are wonderful. I'm surprised a bit by the change. At the moment, I'm only using an integrated Marantz amp powering a pair of Kharma Ceramique 1.0 speakers and fed via an Audio Aero Capitole Mk 24/192 CD Player. Can't wait to hear these cables with my Atma-Sphere MA1 MkII.2 amps (one sent to A-S for minor repair). Oh, previous speaker cable was Synergistic Designer Ref .5.

Now I'm curious about the Interconnect... anyone have experience with the PAD interconnects? Thanks!! BTW, I'll give more detailed feedback when I get a little time. Thanks in advance for the info!!

Say "Germanboxers" - Does your screen name refer to your choice in: a) Dogs, b) Porsches or c) Underwear?
Germanboxers I have the Purist Colossus ICs and the new museaus ICs and speaker cables. I also own a 5 meter pair of Proteus ICs. The Museaus is much cheaper than the older Colossus and Proteus but gives little to the Proteus and nothing to the Colossus.
I was surprised to hear how good the Museaus sounded compared to the 3X's more expensive Colossus. I am probably (when I have the time) going to write a review of the Museaus. The gist of the review would be 'the Meseaus is at least as good as the older and costlier cable.' Obviously that doesn't go into detail, but it is coming from a big fan of Purist cables. All the cable in my system now is from them!
Everything I have heard about the Venustas indicates it is even better. I have heard from people I trust that they are very close to the quality of Dominus at a fraction of the price.
I would strongly encourage you to listen to them. You will not be disappointed with either of the new cables, or even with older versions of the now discontinued (like Colosssus) cables.
Machts gut!
Thank you again Albert! I'll e-mail you for your thoughts.

Elgordo, the answer is "a", as I have two boxers. One is from American show lines and the other is the product of two working bloodline German boxers (father is SchIII, FH2, is a police service dog, and competed in the DVG Nationals last year). They are both wonderful dogs, but the German boxers have considerably more drive and are better suited for Schutzhund. The high drive does drive my wife and I crazy sometimes though! ;-(

Nrchy, thank you for the suggestion of Museaus. I really hadn't considered this product, but if it competes with Colossus, I'll definitely be trying it out.
I have never had the pleasure to listen to the Dominus, but I have recently purchased the Musaeus Bi-wired speaker cable and a Venustas RCA and Venustas XLR. I have been EXTREMELY HAPPY with all. I traded my Colossus for these.
The Musaeus does outperform the Colossus. It is more open and detailed and has more bass extension. I did not want to believe it because I have been a LONG tome fan of colossus, but once I heard the Musaeus over the colossus, I was convinced. Venustas also outperforms the Proteus. No more wory of the fluid jacket needing to be refilled overtime. The new Ferox jacket really sheilds the cable and lets you details you have been missing. I am using the Purist with Classe and B&W's.

Does the Venustas powercord has 2 versions - one for 220~240V 50Hz and 120V 60Hz?
