No one talks about Purist Audio Design cables.


That's what I mostly use, in addition to Wywires Diamond and Gabriel Gold interconnects and Custom Power Cord Company Top Gun power cords.

Used to be a lot of talk about them.

Musaeus and HDI are such soft sounding cables, I have since stayed from the less expensive lines. I have Proteus and Dominus B interconnects now. Both are heavy cables which need strain relief for the jacks. The dominus is ridiculously unwieldy, very heavy and stiff. They sound more alike than I was expecting. The proteus is brighter ( as in the dominus is darker). It is also flatter with sound coming from the plane of the speakers and more sounds collapsing around the speakers. The dominus is more lush, set back behind the speakers and a bit larger sounding. I don’t have the sense of losing detail between one or the other. I will never sell the dominus. At just ~$1500 used and not readily found, it is perfect for me.

 

At least on forums I think Albert Porter and Romy the Cat popularized this brand, specifically the dominus. That is why people used to talk about them.

inna,

I have not experienced Neptune, and the dominus came with ferox. People who purchase these older fluid-filled cables should be prepared to send them to PAD for ferox fill as there is low chance they are still filled with fluid.

That was dumb to say. Have to stay open to other possibilities and not be self-satisfied.
