It depends on where you want to go. Gold Reference is really warm, subduing details. I am not familiar with the Cygnus, but Clear Reflection, Clear, and Clear beyond. They are less warm and more detailed as you go up. Most likely Clear Beyond would be your best bet in Cardas. For me, all are too warm and Transparent are much better at imparting no tonal shift or harshness… well, just being transparent. Something, you may or may not want.
Cardas Golden Reference or Clear Cygnus? Which would you choose?
Greetings all and @decooney
I'm hankering to upgrade from my Neutral Reference (which I really like) and am considering these two options.
For those who have been using Cardas for a while and have experienced these interconnects, which would you choose? Which would you prefer?
Thanks, in advance, for any opinions you might share.
