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.

Opinions and preconceptions will not change the outcome. Your system, room and ear will determine that. I listen too critically to new gear and always find things don't meet expectations at first. I'm stressed over the possibility of buyers remorse and there is always something to like about the old gear that I miss. Give it time. Let your brain settle in to the new sound and spent cash. Be aware that there are times when nothing will satisfy you and listen later. Relax.
