i owned golden cross, which i used between amp and preamp. i was using golden hex 5 c as ac cords (golden ac cords), also using golden hex 5 c as speaker cable and as ic between cd player and preamp. amp and pre were tubes.
i did not find golden cross soft and lacking in definition. i know, perception, tastet, room, and other variables are factors which affect cable performance. i have heard from other cardas owners that there is a glare in the upper mids in many of the older cardas cables. the newer ones may have corrected this problem.
i sold all my cardas cable and am using ear to ear, made in candad, whichj is silver coated copper. i feel ear to ear ics are less erroneous than the golden cross.
