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.

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???

@ Elizabeth, 10% cost rule for cables to system cost, That's crazy!, Try that the other way around!, works hugely better!, I have never, ever, regreted doing so!, For crying out loud!, cables are as, or more important than the componets them selfs!, I have done many test regarding this, I have even used a $300.00 yamaha cd/player with high performance cables that were not cheap by any means, beat out multi-thousand dollar componets with inferrior cables by a whole, whole lot in performance!, I did this test in front of 15 people, you should have seen the shock look on their faces, they went from laughing, to me laughing!
