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.

I've owned both the Hero and KCAG's as well. For the money; it sounds like the Parsec's are a deal. Should you decide to progress further: try the Kimber KS 1030/1130(balanced) and/or Synergistic Research's Tesla Apex. Considerably pricier, but- if you auditioned them; I'll bet you'd keep them. I audition through/buy from The Cable Company as well. Great people(especially Joe). Happy listening/experimenting!

Thanks Rodman99999. I am trying to keep on a budget!
My pre to amp distance requires at least six meters and would be a tight fit. So i buy a seven meter cable to make certain it will have room.
One of the reasons the Parsec seems like a good deal.

Price is not a pocketbook breaker.
For example the Kimber KC1130 you mention in the seven meter length i would need... Price is only: $12,500.00

The more reasonable 1116 is still near $3,000 (though it is not listed on TheCableCo site.
So the Cardas parsec os a STEAL at $1,290. for seven meters pair. (I paid only $595. with a trade in.. So it is a no brainer to go with that.)

I constantly wrestle betwixt budget and an obsession for realism. I'm grateful, "seven meters" is not a factor, in my app!

I like your car analogy, but the correct spelling is Porsche. And although you indeed spelled BMW correctly I believe the autophiles use Bimmer when talking about Beemers. Don't know why. Anyway, congrats on your Cardass epiphany.
