I found that Cardas power cords in general a big disappointment and I have auditioned them all. I replaced several Golden Reference power cords for the same concerns that you have stated as well as they are not good value $$.
I currently use Shunyata cords in my main 2 channel system and Shuyatta and Harmonic Technology Fantasy AC10 power cords in my 2nd video/stereo system.
All giving me great results.
Shunyata makes great products.
