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.

Liz, do you think I might realize a significant improvement by picking up the TC grade over my current PR grade of speaker cabling. As I mentioned elsewhere, perhaps in this OP, the various grades of Kimber speaker cable (e.g., PR and TC) spec very similarly (i.e., impedance, inductance and capacitance).

If you want to have fun Eliz..get a pair of the top AntiCables.....its very instructive. They take them back anyway for a refund if not satisfied.

In theory they have a money back guarantee, though the policy does not seem to work so well in reality. I tried the Anticable speaker cables many years ago, when they first came out. $80 for a 8 foot pair. They were good bang for the buck, but could be beaten for not too much more money, so I sent them back. I'm still waiting for my refund. LOL!!

After a couple of e-mails where there was much stated about confusion of order numbers and location, they did admit they received them back, but did not know where they went, I finally gave up. I figured I was only out $80, my time was more valuable than to keep chasing after them for a refund. No sense hiring an attorney for an $80 refund. LOL!!

Elizabeth - you are doing the right thing....go back to Kimber, if your 7 meter isn't broken in now it will never happen! Pluse even if it changes don't expect much! In my experience....

Today I took off the 7m Parsec and put them back in the box.
I am finished with fooling around with them.
I took some 'junk' 5m Belden 89259 coax with RCA I had laying around and stuck it on my setup. (the 7m is to fit around the walls, The 5m has to lay across the floor to reach.)

Right off AMAZING i have midrange again.
The treble is not as detailed, but a full musical spectrum back on tap.It sounds nice. Not spectacular or anything, but nice, And way the Hell better than the Parsec 7m sounded.(even with over three weeks breaking in)

The 7m Parsec are going back. I had enough screwing around waiting for some magical break in. (more than) Three weeks is way too long. F* it.
