PS Audio XLR Statement vs Cardas Golden Cross

I started with the Xtreme digital, then Xtreme Power Plus on my DAC, then RCA Statement between DAC to Pre, then another RCA Statement Pre to Power, then another Power Plus for Pre. The Xtreme series are basically under price. Don't let the high price tag of other brand mislead you. I was going to get the Golden Ref. but decided on the Xtreme Statement because they are better even though cheaper. More natural, and best of all they open up after only 30-40 hrs of run-in. However, the biggest improvement was when I upgrade the Xtreme digital and the Power Plus. And make sure you don't use the Statement Power AC for anything other than the power amp. I've tried it on Preamp and the Power Plus was better. I was skeptical when the salesman told me they a couple of his client end up upgrading all his cable to PS Xtreme, now I believe him!

yue,

Will the PS Audio XLR Statements have warmth like the Cardas Golden Cross?

I need the Warmth going from the Simaudio W-10 mono's to the Maggie 20's.

If PS Audio XLR Statements will provide that and "be better" as you say and be extremely cheaper, I'm IN!!! Thanks, Dave

I use the Statements with Logans and they are very nice! I didn't try the Cardas but I had XLO type 5 which were very fast and detailed but needed just a slight bit a warmth and statements did this and more! I too agree that they are a good value. I use all statements through out for IC and Speaker wire and Statement for my power plant but I found the Lab II sound better for everything else! Happy Listening!
