Cardas Golden Referance XLR/IC's w/SS equipment


I would like to hear from you if you have experience using Cardas Golden Referance IC's with Soild State Equipment. I am using Mark Levinson Equipment and Electrostatic speakers. Looking for detail as well as musical. Also please comment on the Cardas Golden Referance speaker cable in said set up. Would this be a good match with equipment & speakers?

Removing the fatigue factor and edge from solid state (or from systems in rooms with poor acoustics) is exactly what Cardas cables are good at. It is a very punchy cable - and quite fun to listen to. It will add weight and presence to solid state gear without sacrificing the detail you are accustomed to. Tones are very natural and well balanced.

In my previous SS systems, Cardas between the preamp and amp worked best... Nordost Quattro Fil is a good match for the Cardas (the two sonic signatures work well together and sound quite natural) when used between source and preamp.
