Yeah, Purist Poseidon fluid for about $600 new should do it. I have not heard it, thought about getting it but decided on Purist's current best fluid cable - Neptune. What a cable. |
I have never heard of broken-in Purist cables being unfocused, but there are Purist fakes. As for bright, some mostly silver Purist with Ferox not fluid could be a little bright in some systems, my old Colossus RCA with Ferox is an example. It was fine before with fluid, but when the time came to fill it up, Jim of Purist only offered to fill it with Ferox, which, I believe, threw the cable off the balance. Not familiar with Museaus, though.
You could try Nirvana cables, they are out of business, I think, and hard to find. |
Purist timeline goes like this: original, revision A, revision B, revision C, revision Praesto, revision Luminist. |
Czarivey, let me guess..You really want even need to upgrade but not sure which way to go. But whatever you do keep your zen. |
Well said - Isaac Asimov. I deal with it every day.
Humans are god's chlildren. Like the father like the son. |
dragon_vibe,
how would you compare Neptune to Poseidon? I never heard the latter. |
Democracy is literally translated from Greek as "grip of the people". Can be interpreted differently. |
Or with Churchill himself. |
Yes, he did, but I suspect he thought a lot about it in general too.
One ignorant or stupid person - one vote would not be a problem. Millions of ignorant or stupid people - millions of votes would be a totally different matter, wouldn't it? |
Read Azimov's 'The End of Eternity'. It is all much more complicated than average voter Churchill appears to have thought. |
I won't disagree with that.
I think, yuppi so-called audiophiles very much drive this nonsense.
Anyone care for a $3k bottle of French wine?
By the way, my Nak682ZX cassette deck cost about $1650-$1800 in the year 1981. Great deck but might've been overpriced too.
However, I do think that great equipment has the right to cost a lot more than just a good one regardless of labour and material cost.
Custom Paco de Lucia guitars by Conde Hermanos cost a lot. I heard one of those guitars played by him. Fantastic instrument with incredible power for an acoustic guitar.
$35k wire? They can go..you know what..themselves. $10k wire? Well, I would listen. |
Or original and even second generation BMW M3. It was never inexpensive but the price was reasonable and it was a real daily driver's car. No, I didn't have it, unfortunately, but I intend to get this vintage one day. Or the original M5. |
And I am tired of paying $300 monthly bills for three cell phones. That's over $35k for ten years.
Anyway, I did pay over $1k for a pair of new Purist Neptune RCAs to replace old Colossus. In my modest system the difference was really big. But I am not paying $2k for Neptune speaker cables, not yet, but I will in time, or for older Purist Dominus. After upgrading both the amp and the speakers. |
Right. And one woman - no vote. |
czarivey, I think you are just as an anarchist as I am. True anarchist rejects external authority in any form, democratically elected or not, there is no difference. |
Self-imperialist doesn't sound too bad to me. |
Generally speaking, people are so submissive, especially men. This is a disaster and it is getting worse. |
Personally, I equally dismiss $25 and $25k interconnects. Let's cut the guano, good cables cost at least hundreds new. If someone is capable of making them himself that's another story.
Next thing I know I will hear that there are great sounding $1k new speakers. |
Some do report that, say, Mogami balanced cables perform very well in some systems. I think they are $100 1m pair or so.
My experience is limited but my hearing is good enough. |
