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.

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'.
As much as we, as audiophiles, try to stay true to our systems, there comes a time when brand loyalty (fealty?) is overcome by simply hearing something better, which is part and parcel to our hobby. Part of this event is the freedom one feels from straying which in turn leads to discovery moments (eureka!) that get those endorphins going and improve our situations.

These are truly great moments and I can relate on many levels.

Congrats Elizabeth!

All the best,

Good for you, Elizabeth! I love your stories of your continuing explorations. Thanks!
