Cardas ICs are too warm for Tube amp


I have heard that adding Cardas Golden Ref IC to tube amps can result in imbalance tonal, such as too much warmth, midrange unclear, dark, etc..

Any comments ?

Also Anyone has heard of new Cardas top of the ranfe "Clear" are they good for Tube gears, like 88KT, 12AX7.

thanks

current production cardas cables, or any other brand are unlikely to be considered warm, based upon the definition of warmth, as colored, subtractively in the treble, and colored additively in the upper bass/lower midrange.

such cables would be criticized by reviewers and unacceptable to most audiophiles.

most products are designed to be minimally colored.

accuracy or neutrality is a ubiquitous objective in the high-end industry.

i believe it is necessary to look for "warmth" among products in production over 20 years ago.

perhaps cardas hexlink, purist audio proteus and purist audio colossus could be considered warm.
