Cardas or Nordost for Simaudio/Magico

Looking for new cabling for Simaudio 330A amp/390 Pre Streamer into Magico A3 and have narrowed down to Cardas or Nordost primarily as I understand that Simaudio often shows with these cables.  Cardas level would be Clear Cygnus (or maybe stretch to Clear), Nordost would be Heimdall 2 (or maybe stretch to Frey 2).  Need PC, Speaker and XLR IC.  Currently using Acoustic Zen.  Ideally, would like a bit more detail and improved soundstaging.  Probably will buy used and so just want to pick one and go with it.  Appreciate any input.

I would think Cardas. Magico are very very revealing speakers and Nordost are pretty revealing. The combination is going to reveal the leanest of the Simm. 

I’d recommend trying Cardas Clear, Clear Reflection and Clear Beyond. I recommend auditioning for a week each. The sound will be of the same character with a difference in bass and midrange. The Reflection will be be the warmest / sassy and the Clear Reflection most detailed. You should take your time... these should be great fine tuning for your system.
