I'm now a Cardas Woman. I used to be a Kimber gal

Well i was interested in the new Cardas Parsec. I bought one and went WOW! What have i been missing!
So then I bought another.. then went for the big one (seven meter pre to amp, big bucks)
Added a few more. Bought a used Golden Reference here to have for a tease..
So I went from Kimber all around to Cardas.
I liked Kimber, used them for-ever.. Nice, but this new Cardas Parsec has me. (Kimber has some catching up to do guys..) The Cardas is just more 'natural'.

This is like changing auto brand: Lifetime loyal BMW owner.. years of Beemers.. suddenly buys a Porshe! And LOVES it.

Some of them are still in shipment from Cardas. I am just so excited.

Congrats on the new cables Elizabeth. I never was much of a fan of Kimber Kables to be honest. I prefer the Cardas sound, though I only owned the Golden Reference, and I have not had a chance to listen to any of their newer Clear designs from Cardas yet.
I do not currently own any Cardas, as I moved on to Jade Audio, Purist Audio, Tara Labs, and Acoustic Zen. I am more of a mix and match guy now, as I have never been satisfied when using the full loom of any one cable brand. However, I have much fonder memories of the CGR than anything I've ever owned from KK.

I also congratulate your discovery, it's nice when something new in a system you've had for years gets you excited.

I just tried Tempo Electric's solid core silver w/teflon tube insulation speaker cables on my VAC/Tannoy rig, and I'm feeling that sense of excitement as well.

Enjoy, and regards,
Dan

As a longtime Cardas owner, my system is 90% Golden Reference, and a few Quadlink on the IC end. I have yet to afford the Speaker Cables due to a 18' run. You have me curious as to your opinion between the GR and Parsec?
I may be making some changes due to length and finding GR's is becoming rare.

I know that you're a Pangea woman. To keep the excitement going, you might consider trying a different cord (maybe from TWL). Just sayin'.
More to discover
