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?

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.

Jmcgrogan2,

I totally agree. All the talk about cables and components that just let the music come through without any impact on SQ is nonsense. This is a marketing ploy, IMO.
