Purist Audio, Venustas or Aqueous


I now have a Dominus powercord on my Gryphon Antileon and the Dominus digital between my krell dt10 and Ref64. Since I can't afford more dominus cables I will get me a Aqueous powercord for the drive and dac and one for my pre (krell krc-hr)
But I want more ! so I'm very much in doubt of interonnects and speakercable. I've read many reviews here but I can't make a choice between the Venustas and Aqueous. I do need 2 interconnect and a cable to my Avalon Ascendant. What I want:

Price between the to cables is not an issue
I do love a wide and open mid and high
I don't need any more slam or foundation in the bass

Is there someone who can advise me on this ? I've been talking to Jim several times now but I just can't get it clear.

Nsgarch, wouldn't that then make the Musaeus the "Venustas lite"? Musaeus, Venustas and Dominus are the only three cables in the PAD line to mix silver and copper conductors.
While I am not disagreeing how good the Venustas is, it is 4X's the price of the Musaeus. You are right, the ancilllary equipment should dictate which would work best. I don't see Venustas cables making sense in a $10K system.

All I'm saying is that yes, the Venustas is a nice option for those that cannot afford to wire a system with all Dominus. Similarly, the Musaeus is a nice option for folks who can't afford to wire a system with all Venustas.

I do agree with you about the Dominus power cords, they are a classic.
