Purist Audio - Maximus Interconnects & Jumpers

The new 25th Anniversary Luminist uses EVO Wattgate AU330 (Gold).

I cannot separate performance benefit of EVO plugs from the other improvements but the package is a nice upgrade. Also, I have several demo 25th cables here at Audiogon (paid ads) if you are considering Praesto.

Hi AlbertPorter,

Please help which the different between Old 25th Anniversary and the NEW Luminist 25th Anniversary the Old made with Silver material? and the NEW made with Gold material?
which the Better for Music Lover

Sorry for delay, a big storm blew through Dallas cutting power and all communication at our place for four days.

Both Purist 25th Anniversary Praesto AND new Luminist is 100% silver.

The difference is improved super thin Teflon insulation on Luminist and quieter (new version) Ferox fill. Signal to noise is 1 to 3 DB depending on which cable and where in the system. Very dramatic on phono where signal is small.

Luminist is overall noticeably quieter, more dynamic and even lower distortion in every position. I changed all the cable in my system and got a big improvement.

That said, unless you compare the two directly you would never change from older Praesto revision. It's incredible cable.

Good questions?

Thanks for All

Again, thank you so very much for your help, Albert. I will contact Purist Audio Design soon.

If your Maximus cable is Rev A or Rev B it should have arrows pointing in the direction of signal flow. If it's the oldest version it might have a small star at the source end.

In any case it would be on the band surrounding the cable as mentioned in my first post.

Purist will inspect it for you at no charge. It might be possible to upgrade the fill with Ferox which is a newer technology.

Many thanks, Albert. Does PAD provide refill service? As my Linn Ikemi is not heavy, I would rather to choose lighter refill for my Maximus if I can. By the way, would it cost much?

There should be a band around the Purist cable indicating the name, serial number and possibly the revision. That band should go toward the source.

Maximus is rather old but a very beautiful and musical presentation. It will require a few days to settle, especially if it was shipped.

Hope it makes great music and brings you joy.
