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.

Eliz....glad the new cables work for you....but you must know that cables are an integral part of the system. I have heard the same cable work wonders to improve the sound of one system while ruin the sound of another. In MY system....all Ayre and Vandersteens..., Cardas was the very worst cable of any I tried. I found that really odd since Ayre recommends Cardas, and even has Cardas manufacture Ayre's cables...never the less ....
I already sold the 7m Kimber hero. (Just mailed it out Friday to its new owner) And the KCAGs.
I also sold some old Nordost Blue heaven I had in the closet. My last 1m Hero RCa is a keeper to sit in the closet.
I made $1,300 plus on the cables sales.
So I basically got the new 7m Parsec for free.
Stringreen - I had an extremely similar experience. Ayre setup with PSB Syncrony 1 speakers - and could just not like the Cardas Golden Ref, As you said Ayre even has them made to match with them. I guess all in the "ears" of the listener -
I gues i am getting a divorce/anullment. Incompatibility. I will keep the one meter as they work great. the main seven meter is agoner. i am going back to the seven meter hero stuff. Rebuying it actually... But buying the four wire from KImber and making the Ic myself. Save $250.
So i only lose $100 in the "sell the one one and discover i want it back" deal...
Lesson learned: Never sell the old one until you are sure the new one is better. ;)

So Elizabeth.....now what are you? A Carber woman, or a Kimdas gal???
