........I originally had a full loom of the Cardas Clear Beyond cables along with their CCB XL power cords. I really enjoyed that sound for a few years but eventually it occurred to me that it was too much of a good thing. So, I started replacing my CCB XL power cords with the Shunyata Omega QR(s) power and it added a little more '' life '' to my system and to the overall sound. It took me three years to replace all 4 of my power cords to the Omega's as the Omega power cords at not inexpensive proposition.
I have also since then wanting to move forward with this change, then sold my 2 CCB XL interconnects and just received my second Shunyata Omega XLR interconnect. They are very good in my opinion in my system and they are not just good because they are new to me ; but they are good because not only are they musical they also have great detail and clarity.
So the issue that I have now is ; what do I do with the speaker cables as I currently own as I noted the Cardas Clear Beyond speaker cables. My concern is that cables can '' take over '' the overall sound of a system. Nordost is a perfect example of that. You cannot dismiss the virtues of Nordost cables but they are sonically not to liking for reasons that there is no need to go into now. I can at times tell when a system is all Nordost.......So that's where I am now because my concern is if I go all Shunyata it could sonically take over the sound of my system.
The Shunyata Omega speaker cables to me look ugly and look a lot like some of Rick Shultz's many cable creations from the past and present. They are also expensive but if they are the '' right '' cable I will look into them as you can't take it with you and at 66 I fully understand that.
The Shunyata Sigma V2's just may be the missing piece and although not inexpensive are within reach. But, maybe keeping the Cardas Clear Beyond speaker cables just may also be the right match with the rest of Shunyata loom. That could be the right ingredient in my recipe. You cannot deny that the CCB cables are just flat out musical and backed by a great group of people in that company. This could be the time that mix of cables just may be the answer I am looking for. More to follow and stay well and safe out there and enjoy ......
