Testimonials

This is an awesome complement from a customer about the Aqueous Anniversary cables: "Blows the competitive cables away that I auditioned. Does everything the mfg ads claim - fantastic match in my system."

- Robert Fosse

"I am compelled to write and tell you how pleased I am with the pair of 2m Dominus Rev. B speaker cables I received last week through Duke LeJune of Audio Kineses in New Orleans.
There is a symmetry to my system with Purist cables. I run a Wadia 860 directly into Atma-Sphere M60's with a Venustas balanced interconnect and now have Dominus connecting my Merlin VSM loudspeakers. I am sure that you well know that it was a big leap to the Dominus speaker cable. I have auditioned a lot of cables of all types: interconnect, speaker, and power, in my system. It pleases me very much to report that with about 20-30 hours on them I am delighted and amazed. Many descriptions come to mind--a blacker background, better retrieval of low level detail, terrific separation of instruments--but perhaps the best way to put it is to say that i had only hoped that my system could sound this good".

"This is just a quick note to tell you of my extreme satisfaction with the performance of your Musaeus Power Cord with my Hovland HP-100 pre-amp. I auditioned a number of cords, working with John of The Cable Company. Whereas the other cords offered different degrees of transient performance vs. harshness, the Musaeus was astounding in it's quietness and the ability to allow the musical event to develop. The bass response with this p.c. was far more neutral than I thought my system, let alone my room, would allow. I also appreciate the cable's flexibility, top-shelf construction, and the secure fit of the connectors. Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price.

"I've been a Purist fan for many years, and most of my system is comprised of Dominus cables.  Dominus breathes like music. Listening to T. Yamamoto trio takes me back to the 1974's and the ambience of the famous cabaret.
