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.

Dennis, I do not have a full loom for your big set-up, I got a pair of the one speaker cables, also the interconnect, I throw in the cobalt power cord, I do not have, the one power cord, But hey, Adam does!, he can bring it, that will be as close as we can get, unless someone springs for more, the one cables, when this summer?, I have not looked into yet, this is my idea, I have not got to springing the idea on the wife yet!, Ha, Ha, we all know what the females may say?, I am hoping, we always do not get everything we want, well see.
Grey9hound,

You use your Golden Cross from DAC to pre. What do you use from pre to amp?

The reason I am asking is because I am trying 2 Golden Crosses in one system in these 2 positions and it is too veiled and a bit slow although I do like the bloom and density to the mids and the more textured bass. I tried a Golden Presence in the Pre to Power (Krell) position and liked the more open sound but it was relatively lacking in bloom and tonal density compared to the Golden Cross, which I missed.

In another system, I have a Golden Cross from pre to power (Krell) and a NBS Statement from DAC to pre. I am wondering what it would be like if I switched the DAC to pre cable vs pre to power cable from NBS to Cardas and vice versa. I cannot try it out because the Cardas is too short. Likewise, I tried a Golden Presence in the Pre to Power position and liked the more open sound but it was relatively lacking in bloom and tonal density compared to the Golden Cross, which I missed.

Well since i am bi-amping, it gets a little confusing.
I have the Tara Labs Air 1 series 2 on the pre-amp channels that go to the top section of my speakers (tweeters and mids)and Golden Cross from the Pre to amp for the Bottom cahennels of my speakers s.
My speaker cables are DhLabs Q10 Sigs for the Bass Section and Audioquest Gibraltars for the top section.
