I can tell you some of MY experiences in MY system........... I had the AUdioquest SKY XLR's between my CD and preamp. I have Purist Venustas pretty much everywhere else. I auditioned from the Cable Co. Purist Auqeus Aniversary, Cardas Neutral ref, and another pair of Purist Venustas.
To make a long story short I greatly preferred the Venustas to all the other cables. The Sky were my second choice, but they didn't have as good tonality as Venustas. On initial listening I thought they had more resolution, but the more I listened the more I noticed the Venustas had as much (or more) resolution but didn't sound spot lit on top............. From most accounts the Dominus sounds even better than Venustas (I can't aford them myself)....... Like they always say though............... YMMV.
