AudioQuest vs Cardas XLR


Hello all,

Looking to upgrade my interconnects from my McIntosh C2700 to MC611 monoblocks. I am very interested in AQ Tbirds or Firebirds vs. Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs. I want an end-game cable and would appreciate some feedback. I'm open to any additional suggestions. I do enjoy the prodigious bass/midbass and the smooth midrange that the combo provides. It's a little light on top, though (as McIntosh is). I think Cardas and AQ will preserve my wishes, but is there anything out there that will keep my midrange/mid-bass/bass and improve upon the highs? I think I may be asking for too much, though! I would be very grateful for some direction.

Angela thank you for clarifying . I don't remember your dad using China to manufacture your cables. Correct me if Iam wrong, Cardas bought copper supplies in Japan not China.Indeed Angela I saw your video how your cable are being made.

Anyway Op either Audioquest or Cardas you can’t go wrong. Both company are making good cables. Auditions both so you will find out which one is matching your system.
