Purist Audio : Venustas vs. Dominus?

I spoke with Jim Aud at CES about the differences between Dominus and his newer, non-liquid filled cables. He said that the newer cable has better extension at the frequency extremes with a more direct sound than the Dominus. He still clearly prefers the Dominus in his system but thought that some might prefer the sound of the newer cable.

Has anyone compared the Venustas to the kimber Select cables? I was wondering which would be the best match with my magneplanar 3.6/R´s. TIA.

I haven't used the Dominus, a bit out of my range, but I'm currently using mostly Venustas in my system and couldn't be happier. I have tried quite a few before that, and settled with the Venustas for their accuracy, clarity, details, and extension.

Yes, the venustas are excellent (I have IC and speaker cables). They made a very noticeable improvement in my system: clear, accurate, neutral, yes, but also PALPABLE.

I've listened to both extensively and the Dominus is definately in a class by itself. Compared to the Venustas it portrays a wider and deeper soundstage with an extremely higher degree of realism; instruments and voices sound so real it is almost spooky. The Venustas is great cable though; it is essentially a Dominus on a smaller scale.
