Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND


I got a very good deal on the Cardas Clear Beyond XLRs and they are very good , I feel the INTERCONNECT is more important if I had to make a choice between Loudspeaker cable and interconnect  coming from your sourse, Thst being said 

the Cardas clear beyond has 2 x as many conductors  a n 8 gauge vs 5 gauge 

has anyone ever compared the CLEAR  vs Clear BEYOND  Loudspeaker cable .

i can get the CLEAR for 60% off as a demo pair , how much better is the clear beyond  on the SPEAKER end since I have their  top clear beyond for the interconnects. Thanks much  in advance.

Thank you. Akg_ca  much appreciated . I have no glass and plenty of room panels 

 have a warmer dac and Pathos2 Inpol mk2 integrated Class A Amp that uses the tubes as a buffer and front tubes preamp .

since I just installed the Cardas Clear beyond XLR cable how long is runin time on these I have 40 hours, .My main question is  sonically how much difference between The clear,and clear beyond  if it sounds pretty good with the wire world awg Ecplise loudspeaker cable. I can get a demo pr of clear for 60% off retail l

thank you  for all your  help !!

Thank you 🙏 for your experiences with Cardas and help.

the clear beyond interconnects I got for 55% off and same with clear speaker cable 

I am getting from my dealer ,these were show demo models with smudged print 

to Cardas a blemished , my Dealer is a Authorized Cardas dealer I couldnot pass up the bargain ,the interconnect Alone with onky 50 hours much better then the $1500 AQ  interconnect , 

Pangea SE MK-2=only use Cardas grade 1 copper on one of the main leggs and in much smaller gauge ,it’s a good selling point though , I owned them ,and still may have one to my LPS  power supply 

George Cardas has a method to the madness ,

he worked on long communications lines ,and they measured signal and audio reflections , this is where his  Nautilus  came in. Cardas has Sold $$Millions of dollars worth of cables over possibly 40 years 

he was one of the Litz wire vs stranded ,to avoid added noise and micro arching in wire which is absolute in truth ,then he uses -7-9- single crystal process

some of the best Stylus cartridges from Japan and other areas use his wire .

I have the Clear Beyond for interconnects ,and Clear for Loudspeakers .

it made a Substantial improvement  in my Audio System . I got great deals being show demo and a few scuffs on the jacket . I had several $5-6k interconnect speaker cable combos , this retail only 1 set of interconnects in my integrated Paythos Inpol  the realism is so much better ., as they say in audio ,no weak links left in the chain .   Iguess if I were a millionaire I would have much  better still .being semi retired I am good where I am at . My new Speakers which I heard  from Qualio audio with my Xover upgrades in just the mid tweeter capacitors .

my Focal Sopra2 speakers  use at best average parts quality the Qualio even without the New clarity Purity caps are very well balanced for the modders out there. I have helped in a couple Klipsch loudspeaker mods as well as Wilson .
