You need to try the speaker cable in your system because with good synergy it will "pop" or be less than involving.
It will show up all the positives and negatives in your system.
Cardas Clear vs Nordost Frey 2 vs Chord Sarum T Speaker Cables
There are too many options in the market for speaker cables and I have narrowed it down to two actually, which is the Cardas Clear and Chord Sarum T. I have included the Nordost Frey 2 as it was recommended by few people. Nevertheless, after reading some responses about a full loom which is required for optimal performance, interest has somewhat fizzled.
I am aware there are many other worthy good alternatives such as Audience, Transparent etc. but would appreciate if experiences are only focused on the Cardas Clear and Chord Sarum T. I am currently using Chord Signature XL which is very good, but am looking for the endgame before I call it a day. As I will likely purchase used, demo is not an option.
Any experiences from people who have tried or compared the Cardas Clear, Chord Sarum T and Nordost Frey 2 in their systems would be appreciated. I am looking for neutral-bright, clarity, speed, good bass and treble extension. Dislike a smooth cable that roll-off the treble and making it sound smooth. I want an airy extended treble and would want to hear all the micro-detail and air, and a textured deep bass with good punch, slam and dynamics.
