Cardas Clear Beyond XL PC vs The Rest

Hello all,

I'm in need of an additional PC, and I am intrigued by Cardas. I currently have Audioquest Hurricanes and Audience Front Row. There seems to be very little about the Cardas XL in search engines or reviews, and very few are listed for sale (Are they so good that no one wants to part, or are people not buying?). I would appreciate any input you may share (or any other recommendations). This cable will power my Innuos Pulse. 

Thanks!

I have always been interested in the Cardas, especially because the Clear Beyond interconnects are so highly praised. I do prefer a warmer presentation. Yet the XL PC's do not appear to have a big following. I would love to hear the AQ Dragon also, but I think the biggest bang for the buck would be the Dragon from the wall into my Puritan 136 conditioner. I know you are interested in the AQ Firebird, but I was told by a dealer to go Hurricane or Dragon. The Firebird's performance is a small increment above the Hurricane and not worth the price of admission.

Thanks for the advice! I do love AQ, but I hate how inflexible they are. I do agree that the AQ Hurricane's presents one of the best values in PC's today. They are truly outstanding.
