I recently replaced my Golden Cross speaker cables with Clear Reflection. Although vastly improved, I would not characterize them as a Golden Cross comparative. I have replaced a number of Golden Reference with Clear Reflection and find them to similar but much more controlled especially in the highs not as muted and more controlled bass.
The Cable Co will send you a pair to try from their lending library, if you talk with John he might offer other suggestions. He’s been there for quite a while to offer seasoned advice.
Modern equivalent of Cardas Golden Cross
I remember, some 20 years ago, auditioning ICs from the Cable Company and settling on the Golden Cross. Back then I could hook up everything with .5 meter cables.
My configuration for the last dozen years requires a mix of 1 and 2 meter parts Now I have a mix of stuff and am wondering if there is something equivalent to the Golden Cross.
