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.

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.

I recently had an experience that complete changed everything I believed in. The one cable I thought would make the least difference in the system is the USB cable connecting music server to DAC. I mean its ones and zeros right? In addition, my mind was expecting that there would be no audible difference as the idea that changing a USB cable seemed absurd. Switching over from a standard Monster USB cable to a Cardas USB cable was a revelation. I could immediately hear district improvement in resolution and a simultaneous imprevement in smoothness. So its not always about what your mind is doing since my mind was 100% sure there would be no improvement.
