Purist Audio : Venustas vs. Dominus?

From my brief conversation with Jim, Venustas cable benefits by its advanced metalergy due to use of Ferox. It is quieter, provides better rf, EMI and vibration protection. It approaches about 90% of what Dominus provides at a substantially lower price point. Quieter cable means hearing more detail. Proteus and Colossus are still great cables and beat a lot of
other cables out there but Venustas is his new wonder child.
I use a combination of Venustas and Colossus and really enjoy them over my previous high end brands.

I am interested in a Purist speaker cable now that I have been very impressed with the Colossus interconnect I picked up. Was Proteus a higher grade cable versus Colossus in the previous lineup? Proteus cables seem to be fetching a higher price on the used market, so that seems to be the case. Any comparative experience between the two?

Yes, Proteus was just under Dominus till the knew cables were developed. It is a better cable. I have both now, but the Colossus is sitting in a drawer while the Proteus is still being used. If you can get your grubby little mits on some Proteus I think you will be very happy with it.

I am desperately trying to control the top end of my Genesis 200 speakers. I use VAC amplification.
Anyone compared the JPs vs PAD?
Thanks
