Pure Note Paragon users, comments apprecaited...

Hi,

I've been auditioning the Paragons for a few weeks now- given my particular system and tastes, I haven't found anything better, at any price. (I've tried...)

To my ears, the Paragons aren't thin-sounding, bright, or bass-deficient. For now, they're the new 'reference' interconnect in my system.

Hopefully, I'll find the time to write up a comparison review soon. For what it is worth, I think Jose21's review here pretty much nails it.

To my ear, the particularly impressive observation about the Paragons is how they distinguish themselves more as other system components improve. I've been auditioning CD players as well- used with the 'best' player, the Paragons are so good it scares me occasionally. With the 'runner up' player, they are exceptionally good, but not as obviously superior to other cables.

I've tried numerous silver, silver-copper hybrids, gold, gold-silver hybrids, etc. in the past- frankly, my sense is that conductor geometry and termination may be just as, if not more, important than the actual metal composition. System synergy is crucial as well...

Good Luck,

i have just got a pair of paragon RCAs are they are probably the one best cables i have ever tried (along with the nordost spm). transparent and very natural sounding, not bright and thin at all!

sorry about the typos...'and they are probably one of the best cables'

Golden Ref. is warmer and flatter imo compared to Pure Note or Harmonic Tech. Just depends on your components and prefs. Overall the Paragon is a good cable and is about in the middle but silver is more revealing. This means you will hear more flaws especially in the majority of poorly mastered recordings.

Well, read the comment for purenote for many times before I decided to order Paragons during this special discount period. I have been a purenote user for awhile for their signature and reference series (and still using the old models as well). Yet the old model compare with the other famous brand of cables, I would say Purenote stand a very good value among others (vdh, siltech, homegrown, mapleshade, zu).

And I think I could use this chance to try their new flagship - I have ordered their PC first, and I am actually quite surprise the changes it bring, good resolution, image, smooth and quiet and yet not bright (after some run-in). Then I decided to order the RCA IC as well, and its turn out brought greater changes, and its seems like that I actually switched a major system component (like an DAC). Its very smooth and I would say, its really bring out the 'appearance' of music.

My RCA pair is still breaking in, I can't wait to hear what it sound after 200 hrs recommended break-in time. To summarize, I think paragon is exceptional good values during sales, and its certainly the best cable I have used.
