Acoustic Zen Silver are more revealing but brighter than the Purist. Both good cables but depends on equipment used. Transparent are in-between the two.
Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous XLR ICs
I've been enjoying a combination of Purist Audio 20th Anniversary Aqueous biwire speaker cables with Acoustic Zen Silver Ref MkII(from source to pre) and Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref MkII(from pre to amp) for a long time now.
Can't help but wonder how would an all Aqueous system sound like?
I remember reading a discussion here about Aqueous RCA interconnects sounding forward, but at the same time reports from people who were using balance Aqueous interconnects indicated just the opposite - rolled off high frequencies, muffled sound. So which is it? Bright and forward or muffled and rolled off?
If anyone compared Aqueous with either AZ Silver or Matrix Ref MkII interconnects, balanced versions of all, please share your thoughts. I'm planning on trying the PAD Aqueous balanced interconnects in the near future and am curious, should I even bother? Are they going to mate with the Aqueous speaker cables nicely or should I keep the Zens? I realize this is all system dependant, but if anyone compared the above named ICs, I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks!
