......I am in the cable quandary here .....I currently have Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary cables throughout my system along with the PAD Limited Edition Power Cords. My thinking is / was the more expensive the cable the better the sound which is true in many regards but when I was looking to upgrade my speakers cables I ended up buying the Cardas Clear Beyond as going up the Purist just got ridiculously expensive. Nice cables and during this time I was moving up the Esoteric line in equipment. The Cardas Clear sound real good ..to me in this system and the my speakers also changed from Avalon's to the Sonus Faber Olympica III's ......but in my mind how can the Cardas sound better when they are about 40% less than what I paid for the Purist.....? So I an looking at changing one interconnect out one at a time and see what happens ....but the Cardas interact better than the PAD in my system for less money .....don't know
......Al that's what I was getting at ...and also ....as we all have said many times here on Audiogon ...cables react differently in each and every system and the most expensive is not always the the best for your system. I found that one out $$$$
