Purist Audio : Venustas vs. Dominus?


Anyone have hands on experience with these 2 cables and are able to describe the differences?

I have listened to both but not at the same time. There was probably about a year between the sessions.

The Dominus absolutely floored me. I never thought it was possible for cable to sound that good. I have never heard anything like it. The background is as black as a starless Texas night. The air around instruments has such as sense of space that you can almost hear the air!!! Tones and timbres are as right as I have heard from a stereo system.

I think Venustas is very good. It's better than most companies top-of-the-line cable, but not as good as Dominus. It does what Dominus does but on a smaller scale.

If I could afford Dominus I would have it. Since I cannot, it's Venustas, Proteus and Museaus for me.

I hope this helps a little. If not, try to get some info from Albert Porter if he has the time.
Yes, Proteus was just under Dominus till the knew cables were developed. It is a better cable. I have both now, but the Colossus is sitting in a drawer while the Proteus is still being used. If you can get your grubby little mits on some Proteus I think you will be very happy with it.
