Cardas Interconnect Placement

I disagree with Artistic Audio. There are very few absolutes in this hobby. I would be wary of someone who uses the term always when making a recommendation.

Ingvar is correct. Get up from behind the keyboard, walk over to your system and try it both ways. The way that sounds the best is the correct way to do it. If you can't tell any difference then sell the more expensive cable.

Folks:

The gold cross has not arrived at my house yet and will not for the next week, hence why I was asking for input ahead of time. Thanks for the rude answers from two of you.

Aggiebob98,

I have tried my ICs in various configurations and I always find that my system sounds best with my RSC Air1 (my 'best' IC) between my CDP and preamp. While (as previously stated) there are no absolutes in this hobby, I generally believe that the 'best' IC should go between the source and preamp.

Naturally, you will probably try them the other way around, but I'll bet that you will come to the same conclusion that I have come to.

The fun of playing here is the dorks with their stupid answers! Some people know everything and want to pass that knowledge on to you. When you disagree just laugh at them, since they deserve to be laughed at!
Anyway, the best results I have experienced coincides with previous comments: use the best cable closest to the source. Use the lesser cables to beat people who make stupid comments. I could be wrong about the last part, but it sounds like fun!

I had no intention of being rude. If it came off that way then I apologize.

If I am a stupid dork for suggesting that it should be tried both ways, then I will just have to accept that I am a stupid dork because I still agree with Ingvar that is the obvious thing to do.

As for Nrchy's suggestion to laugh at people who disagree with you, that is about as closed minded a comment as I have ever heard. I welcome people who disagree with me in the hope that I may learn something from them.
