Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system


I am finally pretty darn happy with my system. It consists of Epiphany 12/12 speakers, modded Dodd 120's, and APL 3910, with latest Sound Applications Linestage. I have lots more eq, but, I am trying to simplify. I may end up using a Pre-amp, but I am not sure yet. I do have Dodd Reference Modded, and Modwright modded. Now, my quandry lays here. I am presently using Xindak gold 3 meter interconnects(1 amp on each stand, 8 feet apart). Speaker cable I am using bested Virtual Dynamic Revelation in my system, it is no name, as of yet, but the wire is used to seal Nuclear waste, and sounds amazing. My power cords are Purist Dominus on Sound Applications, Electragide Ultra Khan RR on APL, and stock on my amps.

I have an opportunity to get "a deal" on the latest Kubala Sosna Emotion, and/or Purist line of cables. For the price I can get it for, I cannot audition.

I would also appreciate opinions on whether I should put my amps together, and get longer speaker wire, or longer interconnects.

I have been told by Rick Schultz(VD)and others that the only real way to get the BEST synergy is using same brand cable thu-out system. I just dunno, and in commiting well over 5K to cables alone....I would like some assistance.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck in your journey

John,a stunning post,to me!Really interesting thoughts,and the passion behind your journey is evident.Thanks,so much,for taking the time to keyboard this.A great read!!
At this point I WAS considering replacing my Graham IC-70 phono cable with the Venustas.My friend did,but having been at that listening session/comparison,I still have reservations about the Venustas,in areas of High Freq air,and slight loss of dynamics (slight)and darkening of sound.Overall quite good,and benefits HIS system,but in my set-up,I'd die if I lost air,or darkened up my sound.I fired off an E-mail to Kubala,regarding possibly a new Phono cable,but don't know if they make one,in the two top models,or if costs are prohibitive!Also,what are the metals employed?

Thanks!You guys are a pleasure to correspond with!!!
Smilin,I assume you are replacing the excellent Cary 211's with the wonderful Lamm's.Could you elaborate on your perceptions,as to why this change.Actually,I think the Lamms are about as good an amp as I've ever heard,but the 211's are also supposedly fabulous,and have a bit more clout.

Best!
