Purist Audio Power Cables

Looking for some thoughts. I have pass labs amp, pre amp and oppo 105 front end. I demo'd many cables and decided and purchased Purist Audio Musaeus Luminist interconnects and Speaker cables. I was then introduced to PAD Power cables.. and I was Blown away. Since... i've now got Praesto Canorus on amp and Venustas on pre and blu ray. All lengths are 1.5M and run each from a seperate circuit from wall. It was mentioned that I should try a PAD LE into their new power extender box then connect my existing cables to units. Any thoughts on whats best.. ie using a box, or would a LE into amp and say Canorus be better?

Roxy54,

I was about to make the same observation. I wonder if some Americans would like to comment about being lumped together in the haha-big-images basket all together.

I have a friend who is a professional chef and she firmly believes that most people have no idea of whether food is good or bad. They know if the portions are large and if the steak is "soft", but not much more. If you tell them a restaurant is good,they think it's good. I believe the same goes for audio. IMO, the majority of listeners have no idea of what they're listening to. If they hear a piano that's 50' long, they think it's great. So, to each his/her own. If that's what people enjoy, fine with me. It's their money and their system.

The thing about Purist cables is that they have their own sound. I think cables should have no sound. Purist cables make systems sound more like tubes than solid state...that may be good to some, but I think its coloring.

All cables have their own sound, anyone who thinks otherwise is only fooling themselves. Just because certain cables mate better in your opinion with your ancillary equipment does not mean they don't have a sound of their own. It simply means that their sound balances well with the sound that your electronics and speakers make too. Everything in audio has a sound, including cables, fuses, outlets, capacitors, etc., etc.
