If you don't get that he was making a point with his question you're being pretty stupid, although if you tell me that's true I'd be prepared to accept it.
I bet you would. I'm sorry to disappoint.
Thing is your post wasn't 'recommending him to try'. If you'd said that I wouldn't have replied. But your post had no qualifications, it didn't say you may find no difference or no worthwhile difference, it didn't say get a home audition, you said save up and get it. If it was as simple as that, please tell us what improvements the OP will find in his system? Except you won't because you've already backtracked from your OP.
I'm sorry, I must remember to post every possible piece of information in every post in order to keep you happy. It won't happen again, sir. And you'd really must point out where I 'backtracked'.
I find the Cadenza a more exciting cable to listen to, which I feel would favour the Rega boxes. The Chameleon is a good cable, and was one of my favourite cables to use in demos, but then the Cadenza came out and changed that. If I didn't feel it was a worthwhile improvement over a Chameleon, I wouldn't recommend it. But I did, because I feel it is. And I'll mention again, that there are some prices floating around for the Cadenzas too as Chord are revising their plugs - this brings the cost of a Cadenza much closer to a Chameleon. For me, that's a better investment. And a longer term one too.
Although, I don't really have to justify myself to you, as you're not the one who is looking at cables - the OP is. If the OP thinks that the Cadenza is a little much for the system based on price, I'm sure he can pipe up and speak for himself. Or he can ignore my advice, as anyone has a right to do, it really makes no difference to me. When I give advice, I look at it from the point of view of the OP - I recommend what I would do if it were my system.
Oh, and I assume by your non reply to the earlier point I made - about the fact I was talking about HDMI cables, not hi-fi cables (remember? The first time you tried to show me up?) - means you were wrong?
Have you heard a Cadenza Ben?
