Cardas Vs. Acoustic Zen

Hi
did anyone have a chance to audition the new Acoustic Zen double barrel speaker cables Vs. cards golden reference ?
I have had the impression that the CGR are too "warm", less open and somewhat bloated in the mid bass. the acoustic zen are very open , Airy, and tend to lack warmth.
your impressions are welcome
thanks

Hi,

I'm using acoustic zen's Double Barrel. Having compared it against the CGR, I can say that the CGR doensn't stand a chance, being rolled-off at the top and less transparent at the midrange. The AZDB also gives much better bass weight and speed.

Other cables tried: Dnm/Reson, Harmonic Tech Pro-11 plus biwire, VDH Inspiration

Hi,

I've completely forgotten to add "in my system" to my answer, sorry. I totally agree that it all depends on the system and room acoustics.

Also very important and frequently forgotten is the interaction of apeaker cable impedance/inductance/capacitance with the output stage of the amplifier.
