| New cables from Pure Note "Cerulean" I have been a good customer and strong supporter of Pure Note. I did receive a free set of cables for the testing but I have no financial interest in the company.I guess I could say the same for you, Lak, Physicanimal?, and others plugging Ridge S... | |
| New cables from Pure Note "Cerulean" I was invited to be one of the beta testers several months ago for this new cable. IMO they are a step up from the Epsilon with the silver connectors and silver ribbon wire. I too would like to hear more opinions but it may be awhile since they ju... | |
| Why do cables need break-in? I agree it is the dielectric. Capacitors also need break in. Once I replaced my power supply capacitors in my amp. The sound was very bright and thin. After 100 hours everything was back to normal. The dielctric needed to be "formed up," I believe... | |
| Cables for Nautilus 802s Those tweeters need a fast and smooth cable. I recommend the Epsilon References. These compare to my Valhallas at one-fifth the price!http://www.purenote.com | |

| Where to put the better cable. Cables react differently to each component due to output and load impedances. Just try at each component to get the best results. | |
| Verdict on Pure Note, Ridge Street w solid state ? Do a search on my many posts for Pure Note. Their newer version four blows away their older products. They finally got rid of the slight silver glare and thinness. The cables are quite musical now and actually sound better than my Siltech Compass ... | |
| Cables recommended for Sony based system? Buy used Cardas Cross. Will warm that system up. | |
| Best Speaker Cable 20 Foot Pair There is no best cable. You need to try a few and decide what is the best match in your system. Also what is your budget limit? There are many online companies that offer 30 day trials and excellent products for the money. Do a search on this site... | |
