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

Schubert ... please post your comments after you've road tested the TCs. On paper, I surmise there's a lot of hype. But I am interested in learning whether the higher grade and cost delivers real performance.

Will do Bif.be 10 days or so.

Well I am pretty happy with the majority of the Cardas Parsec. All the one meter are nice. Just the 7m is giving me problems which is said to be break in. Well over with three weeks of all day playing the 7m is not doing it.
I am buying the Kimber wire (which i find out is not current Hero wire, but KS1111 wire (all the better)
And i will see if the Kimber is gonna be good in a few days. If so I think the 7m goes back. Like I wrote, the rest of the Parsec are exactly waht I wanted.

As for the complaint Kimber has a variety of copper.. So what? if you cannot handle the wording,, go back and use the $10 ones you can buy at Builder's Square.. they have all sorts of IC available for dirt cheap. I promise none of those will have ultrapure copper.

Elizabeth, as a former Kimberette, do you think 12TC is generally a worthwhile upgrade over 8Tc ?
And/or , what is the "sweet spot" in the Kimber SC line-up?

Can you tells us what components make up your audio system??

Where does the "new" Parsec IC fall in the Cardas price schedule??

Also what speaker cable do you currently use?? Kimber cable or Cardas???

I am also interested in your answer to Schubert's inquiry whether the 12TC speaker cable is or is not a worthwhile upgrade from the venerable 8TC??
