Is is smooth sounding?

TVAD,
Thats a good point. I agree.
Each piece of Equipment seems to lean towards a preference to a different cable.

For a short time I had the Aqueous along with HT Magic woofer/tweeter Speaker cables on trial from the cable Company.
However, during that time the HT cables with there large spades, shorted my Amp out and I had to cut the audtion short.
I do remember that they were not quite up to what I was used to. (Ridgestreet Audio). But now I wonder if I gave them really a fair audtion.
I have read that the Veustus sort of dulls the frequency extrems, accenting the midrange compared to the Aqueous.
But, other posts say the Venustus improves the bass region.
A recent converastion with a big time Purist dealer commented that there are very few Venustus cables being sold. Most sales are going towards the Aqueuos.
For what that is worth.
I agree that the newest cable is probably getting the attention.
But,I have been trying really hard to audition a Veustus bi-wire set of speaker cables.
No dealer so far has them to audition, and has no plans to obtain them.
Tonyptony,
I was referring to the speaker cables.
I already own Dominus C Balanced interconnects between my APL and my Pass Amp.
By sticking with the Purist line , I was looking for synergy.
I have been able to recently compare the Venustus against the Aqueous.
The Venustus has defintaly more bass but not tighter bass.
The Aqueous has more high end extension and better overall dynamics.
I prefer the Aqueous over the Venustus.
Funny, I tried the Aqueous early on from the Cable Co. and did not care for them, now they sound great!.
The first try, the set was probably not as burned in as the set I just tried.
In fact, when I tried them this time they did not sound so good in the midrange the first day but after a couple days they opened up.

I wonder though if 2 runs of Aqueous would be better still than a bi-wire set?
