Cardas Interconnect Placement

Nrchy, now that you have complemented my system we can be friends again. I have updated it since you looked earlier so you might want to check it out, and yes, I agree with your last post.

My apologies to Bobby for hijacking his thread.

Bobby, here's some information that can also help you in your decision on where the better cable should be placed. Cardas cables don't like to be moved around much. In fact if you were to unplug a pair of golden cross interconnects from your system and move them to another location it could take hours or even days for them to settle back in and sound like they just did. Many cables do this, but Cardas cables seem to have a major effect on the sound when disturbed. Happy listening!

I didn't think anybody was rude until the thread-head was (is that rude enough for everybody?).

Here is the only 'rule' I can give for this kind of question: If you run multiple sources, as I do, it makes common sense to insert your best interconnect between the preamp and power amp - that way all your sources get the benefit of it. As for a single-source system, I defer to the original common sense of Ingvar and Herman.
