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

Tls49..... Thank you for pointing out the error, the speaker cable is the Audience 24e, and the other interconnects are Nordost Norse 2

As I mentioned last time, the Audience speaker cable was a gift; and, the Nordost Norse 2 ICs were show demoes which I was able to buy at cost from a local dealer. Otherwise,I could never have been able to afford either. A very smooth and transparent sound. Unexpected interface with the AZ Adagios

I have two Tara One PC's that could be available if needed for your full Tara loom experiment when you guys get together.

Some guys can't cope with a woman who is their equal. And try to put her down. Sorry Sunnyjim your craptastic real attitude is showing,
Bummerjim is way way better name for you.

MY attitude always is showing:
"Empress of the Known Universe" Elizabeth has spoken.
If I am going to rule. I want to rule BIG.

""When Empress Elizabeth passes..all must bow low and bark like dogs..., Those who fail to bow low enugh have their heads immediately severed and impaled on spikes. "" From The Galactic Manual of Universal Harmony.

Does the woman protestth too much. Yes, because queenie's head is as empty as the books she reads. Do I detect yet another male disease stumping, man hating woman among the membership??? Possibly, What next, some quotes and pocket adages from Harry Potter, or the self empowerment movement bibliography; perhaps, Macrobiotics and pilates manual??

Obviously, you have great knowledge of the toys of audio. However, I don't dislike you because you are a woman, even a clawing one, but because basically you are not a nice person. You are arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, and worse, have no manners.

Several members welcomed your sharing of trial and error IC sampling. Another claimed you championed budget cables, what at collective price of $5000??

You know this hobby brings with it a serious and sometimes lethal element of audio neurvosa, so why stoke the fires of others's potential audio obsession. If you got to preach from the pulpit(or throne which ever self image may fit you) preach moderation and financial self control

Lastly, take a look at Stephen Mejas's articles in Stereophile. He offers readers sound advice on budget cables and components... and not mid-fi shit either. He gets it!! A musician by trade, and part-time audio journalist, he has intelligently and refreshingly considers the proposition, do I really need an $18,000 speaker, or a loom of $12,000 ancillary cables???. (This is a paraphrase of a elegantly stated point)

I am getting tired of this game of verbal badminton, bantering and character assassination. It is pointless and a great waste of time. So if you want to serve the shuttlecock back into my end of court to get even Go ahead, I will have already left the arena

That I respond like you guys do? is that what bothers you? that i am not demure, retiring and passive? Pleasing to men? Seems to be the complaint.

You run away? good for you.
Funny how you fill your comments with insults towards me, then pretend you are not interested in an exchange. i guess you are too much of a coward to actually stand up and have it out. You would rather take a few cheap shots and run away.
Oh yeah, I am arrogant. No problem.I give the same shit I get when morons attack me. When people are nice i am nice.

I learne to be like this from dickheads like 'sunnyahole'.
No problem, works for me.

And i do chapion budget cabling. even while i spend $2,700 (the $5K is retail, not what is out of pocket) And agree I have personally 'moved up' in the world of audio. With $5K each components, I do not have a budget system. So the $5k in cabling is about right.
Especially if i DO buy the next thing I want. which is a $14,500 pair of speakers. At that point, with a $45,000 system, would you spend $2,700 on IC cables?

(I guess Rainydayjimbo would stil be using his free RCA which came with his old $199 turntable. Which is his right. After all, it is also his ears.)
