Just Pulled The Trigger

Bought a new, 2m run of Cardas Golden Reference Bi-Wire speaker cable with 9mm spades. Cost me $1,450 with a trade-in of my 11 year old Neutral Reference Bi-Wire. The GR is now a "legacy product" and is still available on a limited basis at a discounted price. The retail on the GR was about $2,500. Although I am very much looking forward to the upgrade, to be used in conjunction with my Cardas GR ICs, I can't believe that I just spent that much for speaker wire. Hopefully, this is not a situation where a fool and his money are soon parted. What do you think? Please, be kind.

It'll probably sound good.

How bad could it be?

I would not spend that much on ICs personally, but what to buy and how much to spend is a personal decision.

I also would not spend hundreds of dollars on any bottle of wine, but people often do just for a special treat.

Funny how "pulling the trigger" seems like such an appropriate description when we buy this stuff. The good news is somehow, we have all managed to survive, even if not always happily.

GOod stuff is good stuff. IF its worth it to you, that's all that really matters in the end.
