Purist Audio Designs Canorus Speaker Cable Praesto Revision 2.5M

For sale is a pair of Purist Audio Designs, Canorus - Praesto Revision, speaker cables. These replaced the highly regarded Pusrist Anniversary cable.

It is considered a 2.0M long cable however, because Purist does not include the flex ends in the measurements the actual length measures 2.5M including the flex ends (spade to spade). They're terminated with WBT spades at amp, and WBT spades at speaker.

The Purist cables use the CONTEGO shielding that combines the best attributes of the fluid shielding and the Ferox shielding. The cables are the cutting edge of what Purist Audio Design does; music through the science of sound. Every part of the musical piece is heard, and it is all done in exact proportion.

This cable provides absolutely superb performance, the most liquid midrange with high frequency detail while retaining warmth combined with the most powerful bass delivery of any cable I've ever heard.

The cables, jackets and spades are all in outstanding condition and could be considered “like new”. They come complete with original soft cloth bag packaging and documentation.

Purchased from Porterhouse Audio. S/N: 10008976. Purchased in August of 2010.

From the manufacturers web site:

Praesto is Latin meaning to be outstanding, to excel, and to surpass. That is exactly what we did with the Praesto Revision! The Praesto Revision provides improvements in three main areas:


* The Metallurgy of the conductors

* The Shielding technologies

* The Cosmetics of the cables



These across the board improvements in the design of our cables will yield amazing sonic improvements! Each of our cables will be quieter with more transparency, and more speed! Finally, to improve ease of use we are adjusting cosmetics. Each line will have it own unique color on the label to better distinguish between cable lines. We are also implementing uniform color coding to better signify Right/Left, Digital, and Center Channel. Praesto Revision represents our continuing passion to bring audiophile music through the science of sound!

The Purist Canorus is the successor to the Purist Anniversary. In listening to the Purist Canorus, rich and lush come to mind. The sonic abilities of the cables remind me of a 3D movie in that it completely lets the listener feel like a part of the music.
