I can not dispute Teajay with his experience of both but I swear by my PAD cables and they are so vital in my Krell system that I feel it's really just mediocre with anything else, When I use the Venustas it brings the recordings to life so much that I can't stop using them and just enjoy the music. Nothing seems right to my ear or makes me want to listen more often and that's what it's all about so that is a pretty strong result to question IMO. As to your question you might not go wrong with either.
