Purist Audio Break In - Venustas

Need some info on fellow users of PAD Venustas. I used the Cable Co's library to review the Venustas and loved it. Just got my new Venustas in today and plugged them up and they are decided bright sounding. I know the cables need breaking in, but can someone tell me if the brightness is normal? The only difference between my set and the library set is mine is 3.5m long and the libraries was 2m long.

Wonderful smooth, quiet cable 200 hrs break in.You could have had Jim Aud break it in for a week as i did im running
21ft single ended.Even if its broken in takes 50 hrs to reach its peak in your system.Enjoy!!

How long have you had em playing now? Settling down any? Let us know for sure after you get about 200 hours on em...

One final question...did you audition purist venastas and buy purist venustas praesto? The praesto revision does make the cable a bit more quicker, quieter and a touch more resolution....but doesn't loose any of the warmth...could be a possibility.

What would happen sonically if the speaker cables were install backwards, meaning the tag was at the speaker end vs the amp in? Could this contribute to brightness? I'm thinking maybe I had them installed the wrong way when I was auditioning them.

I did the same thing with a Museaus, borrowed from the cable company and then bought new. And I had the same experience. By the end of two weeks of listening a few hours a day, they settled into what they sound like now.... and what the loaner sounded like. Purist Cables are the first cables I've been able to hear an improvement with at a attainable price. Really great stuff.
