Wow, a pretty significant price difference between the Cardas blocks, which, like you said, are the same thing.

Cardas single cut are $62 for 6, and the Ayre are $45 for 6 (from your previous post). How long ago did you purchase these? And it sounds like you purchased these locally...?

yes, locally last winter, but click the link and note the dimensions. then, go to pg. 3. i think you must have bought the Large size blocks. i have the smaller size - i paid more.

also, it appears that the Ayre blocks only come in the small size, and are $15 for a set of 3 vs. $51 for a set of 6 Cardas. note the difference in grain patterns, the Cardas is much nicer looking. i bet the Ayre are deemed "seconds" in terms of aesthetics, and badged under this name at a discounted price for Charle Hansen, and thus, anyone who wants to buy them. mine aren't as pretty as the Cardas, but i have them placed perpendicular to the photo in your thread, with the ends of the blocks facing me, colored with a black Sharpie marker to blend in with my black shelves and black components.

That's where I bought my Cardas from. Paid $30 for 6 ($5/peice), the same price as the small Ayre.


I will agree, the grain patterns I have on 4 of the 6 blocks are downright beautiful. I will likely have my Mom finish these, and she's finished all our unfinished wood in the house for years now.



OT: Exodus is a solid CD. I like Legends more, because its more of a compilation of his better tracks, but that's like cheating..

I have not heard any more Bob Marley, but after one listen, I'm hooked. I plan to have most of his CD's before my birthday in April of next year. I'll peck away at it each week, with a new CD purchase. I hear Catch a Fire is his 3rd best album he has. It's my next CD for this week.

Thanks Nick!

That's what I had expected. Doesn't make sense to have the logo covered up under the equipment right? )

I used the mytle blocks for a year or so. Then, I switched to SRA. Stunning improvement, but the cost is also significantly different.

Now if that's not some nice myrtle blocks...

BTW, does anyone know what happened to Panda Thumb Audio? Did Gary drop the business?

If you e-mail him, I am pretty sure he will still make them for you. I read this while searching other threads for Cardas Myrtlewood, and Panda Audio came up as well. The person who posted it said to e-mail him if you wanted something. I believe his e-mail is on his home page...
