More detail, more extension at the frequency extremes, bigger images, bigger stage, plus this illusion of movement from the instruments. Approx new prices: Opis 1850 Venustas 1800 Transparent 4000 Thanks for reading. These comments are based on listening and a purchase. Especially since my system is mostly fully wired with it. Both Purist cables were in my system approx 2 weeks. Given the differences above, both cables beat my Transparent Reference w/XL. You might like one on digital and the other on Vinyl. System matching and your budget will dictate which to choose. Not emphasis, just a little more weight is these areas.

On strings, and in the mids, the Venustas has more of a wet, full sound. You don't loose detail here, just a subtle shift. The Venustas, is more reserved on the top end. The differences between the Opis and the Venustas are the Opis is more dynamic. You hear little things to the sides and to the rear of soundstage that is eerie. The spooky part comes into play on these back of hall, far side of hall events.

The Image was a little wider, little deeper, and taller-for the main instruments. And which direction the brush strokes are going. You can hear and feel how the brush is moving across the snare drum. The illusion of movement is something you become aware of. The images are bigger, more round, but more separated. Again, without loss of detail, without being over powerful. My Watt/Puppies are now really reaching down low in the bottom end. It adds warmth everywhere without shifting the tonal balance. The next interesting thing is that it adds a weight/foundation/wetness quality to the sound in all frequencies. You'll think it's a dark cable at first, but it's not. Actually, the Purist cable retains the air, sparkle, extension while being extremely quiet. However, this lower noise floor does not translate into loss of info in the top end. The lowering of the noise floor allows details to emerge from LP's and CD's that I've heard dozens on times.


You can hear back of stage events that never were audible before. Somehow this cable removes noise from the entire system. First thing that struck is the background noise. Both Purist cables are a dramatic improvement over my previous cable. My components perform better with XLR cables. With that said, please check out my system details on Audiogon.
