A hated question - Purist 20th Anniversay and the Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnects


........I like them both in my set up ; Esoteric cd, amp and per-amp  / Sonus Faber Olympica III's / Silver Circle 5.0 SE  conditioner / Purist Audio 20th Anniversary cabling - interconnects and Limited Edition power cords  / Cardas Clear Beyond Speaker cables. I added a Cardas Clear Rev 1 interconnect from the Esoteric K-03x to the pre-amp. I liked the way it sounds  - clear ( ha ) focused and improved rhythm and pace.......added a nice warm sound. The Cardas was what $2,500 ...and the PAD 20th Anniversary retailed at $8,000. Okay why am I nuts here ...and any thoughts to those who have listened. I might ...might I say add another Cards between the amp and pre-amp. I borrowed one from the Cable Company and I am telling you the Cardas are very honest almost ruthless to the source. The last time I heard that was from Nordost  - but the Cardas is just that , but adds a nice touch and I mean a touch of warmth.

Garebear...I had every Cardas cable in my system...also had 2 or 3 top Purist models (don't remember).....anyway, I feel that these posted questions are posted for opinion as to my experiences.  I gave mine.  If there is anyone that doesn't feel that they want to listen to my experiences, they can just move right along. ..just to add to my post above...In MY system,  both Cardas and Purist are too colored for ME. By the way... although I have had top of the line Wireworld in my system, I use something else.
Thanks Stringreen....but have you listened to the Cardas Rev 1 ???.....as that is one of the most neutral cables I have ever had in my system. I realize that is  very general statement with no merit .....but if you have actually listened to the Rev 1 and still can say it is colored ??  I am at a loss for words ..... but thank you for your opinion as I am still gathering my thoughts. 
Well looks like Stringeen just had another ''opinion'' Cardas  ......I guess that he really hasn't listened to them all.  
Garebear....why would you seek my opinion??   Get the cables and listen for yourself.  I find that all cables sound different in different systems.  I imagine that you don't have the components (or ears) that I have.

Hello Stringeen .....thank you for your up date and that's my point exactly - I do don't value or seek your comment ( although it is an open forum respectfully ) as you have never explained yourself clearly. If you look, my system is listed ....and I do  have both cables if you read my post. I was looking for someone who has actually listened to these specific cables and could comment  - as opposed to your typical broad brush comments that Cardas sucks. Good for you for having the best and hearing the best among all of. Enjoy the music is what it is all about

ps  - I actually worked in a recoding studio once ...shhhhhh don't tell anybody
