Tim,

you see I have no specification that the cable might be built I have only requirements. I have no idea what kind cable making specifications should be consider in order a cable yield this or that sound. Purist does build custom cables but primary within the scope of what they built commercially. I afraid that what I would be asking would be beyond of what they willing to do. Purist after all is a company that in the business of cable manufacturing not in the business of walking on water….

There are two more aspects that are making me do not contact Purist with my recent cable needs.

First is the price. It is not the fact that it is expensive itself but it is expensive by topology. If Purist wish to get let say $12.000 for interconnect then I am willing to spend $12.000 for hard-binding putting my DAC with my preamp, illuminating a need for a cable all together. So, investing $12.000 into a topological modification makes more sense to me.

The second is the more important. In the end of 90s purist made Dominus, Proteus, Colossus and they symbolized for us – the Purist users and producers – some sort of reference to an agreeable command denominator of sonic quality. Later on that common mutuality understandable protocol between the Purist’s products and the actual sound from the cables was shaken and then got destroyed. Nowadays you can but some kind of strange cable that have Dominus of Proteus label but that sound like shit. Furthermore Purist themselves are lost (in my view) a feeling of what is good and what is bad. They constantly release new cables and they feel that they are superior to the old cables but it is not just true. It is not that Purist lost my credibility: I do not care about the company I care about myself. I do have two cables RevB that are dried out and that need to do refilled but I afraid to send it to Purist and they might lose the Right sound. Purist use nowadays a new liquid and go figure if that liquid make the cable to sound right. Purist said that it does but the same Purist said many other things nowadays that in my experience just are not correct.
