Cardas new top of the line cable

some more precisions:

I was making the test using it beetween dCS Puccini and preamp Capri, all the rest was cabled NBS Monitor 2

I have had the IC Cardas Clear for a few days

very nice cable, very musical, the music flows and has a logic, it gives a lot of details! yes the definition is very rich, the violin of Carmignola on 4th Mozart's concerto (with Abbado) or from Joshua Bell in Mendelssohn's for example are sounding more detailed than with NBS monitor 1 and 2, the sound is also richer and full. The stage is big and broad, the placement of the musicians very good but NBS monitor 1 is still winning in this aspect, the musicians are better delinated and have more space, the stage is deeper.

Cardas sound is relaxed but also fast when it needs to be, both NBS are more some kind of a wild energy ... as comparaison think at the fingers of Horowitz compared to these of Arau ...

Excellent first impression.

quote "How much better can it be than the Golden Reference. I have the GR and they sound quite good. No desire to change them"

my dealer doesn't appreciate the Golden Ref. (too dark and not enough definition he says) was amazed by the Clear

so they must be quite different! ... he told me high defnition, incredibly holografic ...

we will see, I will get a pair as soon they arrive

What component do you have the GR attached to wireless200?
Does anybody know if upgrading a power cord even matters when the component doesnt have a ground?

It's all relative. Compared to my ICs those are imminently affordable.

this is not an affordable price!

I heard the Clear at Brooks Berdan. The system; Alexandria, VTL AMP, VTL 7.5, Grand Prix TT and all Cardas Clear the sound was incredibly, so present I asked for another drink!!! I'm thinking of buying 1m for my new TT I/C !!
