Moving up from Cardas Clear


I'm looking for opinions on where to go next from the Cardas Clear cable line. I've got a Meridian MS600/MD600 source (streaming audio), Simaudio P-8/W-8 amplification and Revel Studio 2 speakers. Cabling is all Cardas Clear, including power cords. I'm looking for something equally rich as the Cardas but with a tad more speed, dynamics and excitement.

Any suggestions?

Hi Leatherneck

I was deciding between Golden Ref and Clear Light but unfortunately my local dealer does not have Clear Light for trial. He did however have Clear. I was surprised to find that Golden Ref had some sibilance in less pristine recordings of brass instruments while Clear did not. Clear was very extended but natural even though it had less body and warmth compared to Golden Ref.

I actually wanted to get Golden Cross as I don't mind sacrificing speed and extension for warmth and body but that has been discontinued.

How does Clear Light compare to these?

Thanks
Camb, they still have Golden Ref but in my system , there is some sibilance with it although not with Clear even though Golden Ref is the warmer cable overall.

Lall, Hexlink Golden 5C is supposed to be faster but less warm than Golden Cross or Golden Ref
Funny thing. I found some Golden Cross and am now considering picking up a GTX-D Gold or Rhodium.

What receptacles are you currently using? Let me know how the GTX-D Gold sounds with the Golden Ref cabling.
