Kimber Select vs Cardas Golden...

I agree with Ndeslions but I found the Cardas to be more bloated in the mids, yet warm.

I'm curious, what cables did you replace the Cardas with, and which Cardas cable was it?

thanks,

I owned both.
The Kimber have more air, the bass response seems extended and the upper midrange is a *bit* forward (maybe that's why it sounds airy).
It' very impressive at the beginning but after a few months i sold them.
The Cardas sounded more round, present, less "hifi" but not more neutral to my ears : the midrange is definitely forward.
I sold it too.

I use Cardas Golden Reference IC's from amp to pre and am thinking of trying Kimber. Care to reveal details of your experience?

Thanks,

Hi Samfreeman,

Email me privately and we`ll discuss. I use both Kimber Select ic`s, pc`s and speaker cables as well as the Cardas. Have much success with both.

happy listening
