Late to the game here. I would save up and do the Clear. It hasn't failed me yet. I had CR once, at my amp. It was good, but lost some neutrality, with I value. Cygnus is the new sleeper cable, imo. Gorgeous low end, and all that Clear has, without the clinic. Check out Cygnus sometime, esp at the DAC output to preamp. Plus, Cygnus has 4 conductors. CR only has two. imo, better signal preservation with Cygnus (i.e. more transparency). I always go for more conductors, all else being the same.
Cardas Clear Reflection advice needed
HI group,
I recently bought a Bel Canto Pre3VB preamp with its VBS power supply, which I'm running to my Bel Canto REF500S amp.
Since the Pre3VB and REF500s are fully balanced, I'm in the market for an XLR cable.
My source interconnects are Cardas Clear; I could wait and save up some more for a Clear XLR, or I could go with a Clear Reflection right now.
If I did that, would I be compromising my system?
Interested in your thoughts.
My system: BC REF500s, BC Pre3VB & VBS1 battery supply, Arcam Alpha 9 CDP, Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand SE speakers, Kimber Monocle XL speaker cable......
Thanks for your help...
