Using 2 different brands of interconnects?

@stringreen My experience with Cardas products are that they are warm and if you have a hot, trebly system with noice, they can help hide it. The higher up the chain you go, the less warm, but if your system is balanced and quiet, then they obfuscate the details. For my early systems, that was exactly what I needed. Since then not so much.

It depends is always the right answer. But as my equipmemt got better and better I zeroed in on a brand that consistently performed the best for me (Transparent). I have always suspected that combining a warm interconnect and a cold / detailed one serially would act as a filter... so that in the limit it would be a bad idea. 
.

Also, comparisons take time and after hundreds of hours of comparisons over decades... I really want to enjoy listening to music, not listening to my system. So, now I have a trusted brand that I know complements my equipment (ARC, Sonus Faber, and Transperant is a known compliment which I discovered independently) and and only requires a decision by me on how much to pay.

If you have yet to learn what you are specifically looking for?  (that can take years).. Enjoy.  Its like using two different coffee beans when grinding to make coffee.

This is very true. At first I wanted bass, then the magic of electrostatic, then more accurate and natural, finally musical. So, what I wanted changed over the decades.

$100.00 cables sounds like junk just pretend it sounds good.Dream on!!
