Add Your Review for the Titanium

First, I have to thank Ray-o-Stat for alerting me to this new product from Pure Note. I have long owned Pure Note products since their original Signature cables. I was also a beta tester for the Paragon cables. I had no idea Pure Note was releasing the Titanium. I am one the first to receive a pair of i/c's, however according to Pure Note.

My benchmark has been the Siltech Compass Lake G5 series for many years. These cables are very expensive and the reference standard in my system. My system has been stable for sometime except for cables, the last tweak.

I now have just the Titanium RCA ic's in hand for now. These cables are in a different class price-wise than Pure Note's earlier offerings. I am glad to see that Pure Note has the courage to offer $2000+ cables, they have always offered great build quality and sonics over the years. In a word, the Titanium cables are beyond anything Pure Note has offered to date. Reminiscent of the their old Epsilon Reference, these cables are levels greater.You will not find a better cable jacket anywhere for durability and yet still flexible (I love this quality since I am an aerospace engineer). They are stunning visually and sonically (in my system). Pure Note seems to favor the same connectors used from the Cerulean series, albeit modified and cold welded.

I do not have the recommend 200 hours on these cables yet, but so far I am impressed. These are the first cables that out-class my Siltech's. Apparently the Palladium-silver wire does similar things as the gold wire found in the Siltech cables but for fewer dollars. Compared to Pure Note Paragons, the Titanium is very clear and sharply focused with incredible soundstage depth. I am now going through all my reference recordings and will have to report back later!

Product Weakness:	Sonically none, so far. Axial flexibilty a little stiff but normal for a metal woven jacket.
Product Strengths:	Very fine resolving powers. Good neutrality. Excellent soundstage. Lots of low level detail. Compares with best I have heard (Siltech, G5).
