Argent Pursang - Your input, please....

I am that forum member and one of these days I will get Eric to try the Pursang and not all the other "expensive" cables/ic's on his list.

As I currently have a pair of Satori speaker cable along with my Pursang, I wouldn't say that the AZ is better made (and it certianly doesn't sound anywhere close to the Pursang).

Eric, although I understand where you are coming from, the fact that you rarely see Argent Audio cables and ic's used is a testament to its quality and customer satisfaction. When I did sell some of my Jaden Sig (step down from the Pursang), I was able to get 70% of the list price and I had more than a dozen offers at that price! Try getting that for AZ or other brands.

I keep bringing other products in on audition and the Pursang is still here. Next up, the more expensive Kimber Select and Audioquest Volcano and Cheetah.

BTW, the Pursang isn't double the cost of the double barrel if you go by list price. :-) You should talk to Ric and see if he can do anything on price.

Lastly, Ric of Argent Audio is one of the nicest people I have come across in audio. He will talk to you forever on the phone (not just about audio) and he genuinely cares about what you need in your system. No high pressure sales tactics ever.

At the end of the day, I highly recommend that you try the Pursang in your system and make your own decision.

George, agree will all the above!

The only cables left on my "must try" list are the Purist Dominus/Venustas and Pursang. And the NBS Omega digital cable. Maybe the Sonoran Plateau too.

Hello George and Eric, all good comments from two great audiophiles. My personal comment is that we should compare apples with apples, not oranges with apples. Therefore, IMO price comparisions should be based on "new" or "used," rather than comparing used with new or vice versa.

I recently sold my Signature Speaker cables (after upgrading to the Pursang cables) for nearly 70% of retail price, which is rarely done in the resale market.

I really have enjoyed my Satori Shotguns, but again after reading George and Dennis' comments, I'm intrigued to say the least, by what I've heard and read about the Pursang.

I just wonder what I will lose (or gain) going from a bi-wired shotgun configuration to a single run of the Pursang. Then again, if the Pursang is what it has been reported to be, I could just break the bank and "double down" for a dual run of Pursangs to be able to continue bi-wiring my Piega P-10's.

Utimately, I really have to give the Pursangs an audition and with Rick's refund policy, I guess it's a no-brainer.

Interesting discussion.

Hello Gerryn, may I recommend that you contact Ric Cummins and ask him about your querry about what you will gain or lose by replacing your Satori bi-wire shotgun configuration for a single or double run of the Pursang cable. Or, you may contact me directly for additional information.
