I've had all of Cardas products in my system including the Ayre Cables that they make for Ayre. I found that all Cardas in MY system (yours can and probably will be different) that the soundstage is greatly truncated...flat with little height. The main problem is that there is significant grain throughout the sound spectrum. I found Cardas power cables to be the absolute worst in MY system. My change to Anti-Cables revealed a revelation in sound.
Cardas Neutral Ref IC V Cardas Cross
Wondering if anyone has compared these two. I have an Exposure 2010S , Sony SACD XA 777ES and use AP Oval 9. Just would like to verify what i am hearing. Thanks,keith
