Purist interconnect cables

Why would you think anyone here would have more information about the PAD line than a long-time PAD dealer?  Well, let's wait and see. Perhaps you're correct. 

why the op doesn’t contact Jim from PA is beyond me.

he would have had his answer already.

Proteus was discontinued at LEAST 10 years ago.  There were no issues with it as far as I know, but it was replaced in the line, just like the Colosseus was.  Upon occasion, when a significant enough change comes along, Jim at PAD will retire certain model names.

I still have the original Colossus fluid speaker cables. I also use newest Neptune interconnects. I like the original silver alloy with fluid Purist cables. Try to find them, difficult.
