Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?

I only find waste in cables

Cardas cables usually cost 100 and even 1000x more vs the cables used to record the music you're listening to so they don't make sense by default even without auditioning. These cables even sometimes more expensive than an ENTIRE Technics 1210G!

Believe or not, for the same reason I don't purchase Prada, because there are a lot of things to wear that are better and cheaper than Prada.

Being a cable guy, I am just curious about the reasons of choosing Cardas.

And as others say, you have to really like your speakers or nothing will make sense. Yeah, burn them in for 250 hours at low and moderate levels. Be nice to them, they should be worked into the sound, slowly, step by step, not hit by heavy metal at concert level volume.

Good table and cartridge.

The Cardas where a good middle ground on price I was willing to pay and some of the reviews I read is that they lean a bit warm.  To be honest you can read so much about cables and I walked away from that rabbit hole feeling like Cardas would be right for me.

Send it to me and I will run it through its paces for you and then return it to you. You will need to provide postage and insurance. 

I have a pair of Forte IV , I really like them.  I have used them with 40 watt PP tube amps, 7 watt 300b , and a 40 watt SS Integrated Amp.    

I bought an Integrated Amp for a second system and hooked it up to the Forte ... sounded so good I left it my main room for three weeks. 

My Dad has the Eversolo A6 and it is an excellent unit. 

The Technics / XP17. ?   can't imagine going wrong there...

The Pass is a great Amp, hopefully the system surpasses your expectations
