I used to have a full system of Pursang along with Brujo and Brujo HC power cords. I now have a full system of TG Audio HSR, with SLVR power cords. I think my cableitis is cured.

The TG has none of the stereotypical "silver" sound - i.e. lean, very detailed but slightly edgy and shimmery with an over-lit soundstage. The Pursang still has just a bit of that quality. Some will find it very attractive and exciting, and in some systems it will be a revelation (as it was for me at first). The TG HSR has none of that sound. Instead it has a full, natural, open, smooth, coherent sound that you can listen to all day. And it images like a bandit.

I'd say Pursang leans slightly toward the analytical side, while HSR is "musically neutral". Both are exceptional cabling systems, but with different design philosophies and different flavours as a result. If I had to get absolutist, I'd say Bob's wire is the best I've heard so far.
Gee, Psychic, I'm truly sorry that my power filter isn't expensive enough. You must know something about the state of the power in my house that I don't.

Frankly, I've heard power conditioners screw things up more often than not, so my philosophy is KISS. The filter I have keeps digital hash out of the main wiring, and it works fine. Certainly well enough to permit comparative evaluations of analog interconnects, even with the amps and preamp plugged straight into the wall! You were saying above that people need to do their own work, trust their own ears, and not to ask for others' opinions or approval. I heartily agree.
